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

Double-strand break (DSB) repair occurs through non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or homologous recombination (HR). To identify non-canonical factors that influence DSB repair outcomes, we parsed data from pooled genetic screens. Through this approach, we identified the splicing factor SFPQ, which has been previously reported to associate with DSBs and promote repair. Here, we show that SFPQ depletion alters DSB repair via HR. However, in contrast to other published work, we find that SFPQ does not localize to DSBs but instead stabilizes the expression of RAD51 and its paralogs independently of p53 activation or DNA damage. Our findings suggest that SFPQ contributes to constitutive DSB repair by maintaining RAD51 paralog mRNA stability rather than through direct interaction with DSBs or RAD51 proteins. Ultimately, our results highlight indirect mechanisms by which RNA-binding proteins can influence genome stability.
