Cellular imbalance of specific RNA-binding proteins associates with harmful R-loops.
Article in PLoS genetics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Understanding how the assembly of nascent mRNA into a ribonucleoprotein (mRNP) influences R-loop homeostasis is crucial for gaining insight into the cellular mechanisms that prevent genome instability. Here, we identify three RNA-binding proteins, Rie1, Rim4 and She2, whose expression levels are important to limit R-loop accumulation and, thus, to prevent DNA damage. Interestingly, Rim4 and She2 are overrepresented in CBP80-containing mRNPs formed in the absence of THO. In addition, we found that an excess of the RNA exosome component Dis3 impairs its function, promoting R-loops, particularly from non-coding RNAs, which cause genomic instability. Our results indicate that changes in the availability of different RBPs or RNAs, causes R-loop-mediated DNA damage in the cell. These results may help to understand the mechanism that promotes cancer, as several RBPs are overexpressed in different types of tumors.
