Illuminating genome repair by photolyase.
Article in Photochemistry and photobiology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum of sunlight poses a threat to terrestrial species. Nearly all species possess the nucleotide excision repair (NER) machinery, which can repair the helix-distorting DNA lesions induced by UV light. However, many species also have photolyase enzymes, which use near-UV and visible wavelengths of sunlight to directly reverse major classes of UV photoproducts. In eukaryotic cells, both of these repair pathways must efficiently locate and repair UV photoproducts present in chromatin. While genome-wide damage mapping methods have been used to extensively characterize how chromatin and ongoing transcription impact NER, much less is known about how photolyase enzymes navigate these obstacles to repair UV damage. Here, we highlight a recent article from our laboratory that used genome-wide sequencing methods to characterize how yeast photolyase repairs UV damage, both in NER-proficient and -deficient cells, and prevents UV-induced mutations.
