PolySUMOylation of PCNA and Rad52 restricts centromeric recombination in fission yeast.
Article in Nature communications, 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
SUMOylation, a conserved post-translational modification in eukaryotes, regulates protein function, localization, and stability. However, the role of SUMO chains in genome maintenance is still emerging. Using Schizosaccharomyces pombe, we show that loss of SUMO chains results in spontaneous replication stress, DNA damage, and elevated centromeric recombination. To investigate SUMO-dependent interactome at the sites of Rad52 repair, we used a split-SUMO-ID proteomics approach. It allows the analysis of local SUMOylation content at the Rad52 repair sites, and enabled the identification of the essential replication factor PCNA. We found that SUMO chain-modified PCNA antagonizes Rad8-mediated PCNA polyubiquitination, modulating the choice of post-replication repair pathways at stalled forks within centromeres. In the absence of polySUMOylation, excessive PCNA polyubiquitination drives elevated recombination at centromeres. Artificial tethering of a SUMO chain to Rad52 suppresses this defect. Our findings uncover an essential role for SUMO chains in centromere maintenance by modulating DNA repair pathway choice under endogenous replication stress.
