Pathways of rDNA copy number homeostasis in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
Article in G3 (Bethesda, Md.), 2026. 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
Fragile sites across the genome pose an increased risk of genetic instability. The rDNA repeats are particularly at risk due to highly repetitive sequences, replication transcription collisions, polar replication fork barriers, and late DNA replication. In this study, we examine mechanisms of rDNA homeostasis in fission yeast. We monitor the effects of an artificially contracted rDNA array, assess the responses to genome-wide alkylation damage, and identify genetic pathways that affect rDNA copy number. We find that a reduced rDNA array leads to a decreased growth rate, smaller cell size, and increased genotoxic sensitivity to alkylation damage from MMS. We also observe that in response to chronic MMS exposure, normal rDNA arrays contract in a time/concentration-dependent manner. We show that rDNA copy number is affected by the fork protection complex (FPC), fork licensing proteins, chromatin modifiers, and DDK kinase. These results confirm that the rDNA repeats are a genome fragile site that is particularly sensitive to perturbations in DNA replication.
