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

BRCA1 is a crucial component of homologous recombination (HR), a high-fidelity pathway for repairing double-stranded DNA breaks (DSBs) in human cells. The central region of the BRCA1 protein contains two putative DNA binding domains (DBDs), yet their relative substrate specificities and functional contributions to HR remain unclear. Here, we characterized the DNA binding properties of DBD1 (amino acids 330-554), DBD2 (amino acids 894-1057), and BRCA1 C-terminal (BRCT) repeats using biolayer interferometry. Affinities were determined for single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), and G-quadruplex (G4) DNA. DBD2 exhibited strong and nearly identical binding to all three substrates (
