1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Human RAD52 protein binds DNA and is involved in genomic stability maintenance and several forms of DNA repair, including homologous recombination and single-strand annealing. Despite its importance, there are very few structural details about the variability of the RAD52 ring size and the RAD52 C-terminal protein-protein interaction domains. Even recent attempts to employ cryogenic electron microscopy (cryoEM) methods on full-length yeast and human RAD52 do not reveal interpretable structures for the C-terminal half that contains the replication protein A (RPA) and RAD51 binding domains. In this study, we employed the monodisperse purification of two RAD52 deletion constructs and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) to construct a structural model that includes RAD52's RPA binding domain. This model is of interest to DNA repair specialists as well as for drug development against HR-deficient cancers.
