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

Replication stress involves the slowing or stalling of the replication fork as DNA is copied during S phase. This stress can drive genomic instability, a cancer hallmark. RNA:DNA hybrids, such as R-loops and single genome-embedded ribonucleotides, are significant sources of replication stress. RNA:DNA hybrid homeostasis must therefore be tightly regulated through prevention and removal. Ribonuclease H2 (RNase H2) functions both in R-loop removal and excision of single ribonucleotides from genomic DNA. Recent research has generated new mechanistic insights into the functions of RNase H2 in the replication stress response, and implicated both loss and overexpression of RNase H2 in cancer development and therapy response. These findings help generate new models but also raise new questions. This Review explores the contribution of RNA:DNA hybrids to replication stress, the involvement of RNase H2 in regulating these structures, and the emerging roles of RNase H2 in replication stress response and cancer.
