UNG-RPA interaction governs the choice between high-fidelity and mutagenic uracil repair.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Mammalian Uracil DNA glycosylase (UNG) removes uracils and initiates high-fidelity base excision repair to maintain genomic stability. During B cell development, activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) creates uracils that UNG processes in an error-prone fashion to accomplish immunoglobulin (Ig) somatic hypermutation (SHM) or class switch recombination (CSR). The mechanism that governs high-fidelity versus mutagenic uracil repair is not understood. The B cell tropic gammaherpesvirus (GHV) encodes a functional homolog of UNG that can process AID induced genomic uracils. GHVUNG does not support hypermutation, suggesting intrinsic properties of UNG influence repair outcome. Noting the structural divergence between the UNGs, we define the RPA interacting motif as the determinant of mutation outcome. UNG or RPA mutants unable to interact with each other, only support high-fidelity repair. In B cells, transversions at the Ig variable region are abated while CSR is supported. Thus UNG-RPA governs the generation of mutations and has implications for locus specific mutagenesis in B cells and deamination associated mutational signatures in cancer.
