RAD51 separation of function mutation disables replication fork maintenance but preserves DSB repair.
Article in iScience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Homologous recombination (HR) protects replication forks (RFs) and repairs DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Within HR, BRCA2 regulates RAD51 via two interaction regions: the BRC repeats to form filaments on single-stranded DNA and exon 27 (Ex27) to stabilize the filament. Here, we identified a RAD51 S181P mutant that selectively disrupted the RAD51-Ex27 association while maintaining interaction with BRC repeat and proficiently forming filaments capable of DNA binding and strand invasion. Interestingly, RAD51 S181P was defective for RF protection/restart but proficient for DSB repair. Our data suggest that Ex27-mediated stabilization of RAD51 filaments is required for the protection of RFs, while it seems dispensable for the repair of DSBs.
