Novel mutations in the RECQL4 gene affect its helicase functions, interactions with the BLM helicase and chemotherapeutics-induced cell death.

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
RecQ family of DNA helicases play pivotal roles in DNA replication, repair and responses to DNA damage or replication stress. Several human RecQ helicases are defective in diseases associated with chromosomal instability, premature aging and cancer. We recently discovered novel mutations in the RECQL4 gene in glioblastoma (GBM), the most malignant brain tumor in adults. Transcriptomic profiles of GBMs with REQCL4 mutations resembled those in REQCL4 KO glioma cells. We employ structural modelling and biochemical approaches to elucidate impacts of novel mutations on RECQL4 helicase activities. Using recombinant RECQL4
