Article in Nucleic acids research, 2025. 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
Homologous recombination is a key pathway for repairing DNA double-strand breaks with high fidelity. The assembly of recombinases on DNA to form nucleoprotein filaments is a crucial and tightly regulated step. This process requires the formation of a stable nucleus, followed by recombinase extension. The dynamic assembly and disassembly of recombinases directly affect recombination progression. Accessory proteins, such as SWI5-SFR1, regulate nucleation and extension steps, modulating filament stability and recombination efficiency. In this study, we extended our investigation to the rapid extension phase of RAD51 filament assembly. We found that mouse SWI5-SFR1 effectively reduces the dissociation probability of mouse RAD51 during filament extension, promoting more uniform filament growth. Step-size analysis revealed that mRAD51 assembles as various oligomeric units, with octamers being the predominant species. This observation reflects both the oligomeric nature and structural preference of mRAD51. In the presence of mSWI5-SFR1, the step-size distribution shifted toward tetramers, indicating that mSWI5-SFR1 modulates the oligomeric state of mRAD51 in solution, thereby facilitating extension and stabilizing DNA binding. Taken together, our findings bridge the gap between the nucleation and extension stages of filament assembly, and propose a comprehensive mechanism for RAD51 filament formation and its regulation by accessory proteins to ensure genome stability.
