PARP1-mediated 5' flap dynamics facilitate Okazaki fragment maturation.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 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
Precise regulation of enzyme recruitment during Okazaki fragment maturation (OFM) is essential for faithful and efficient lagging-strand DNA synthesis. Emerging evidence suggests that PARP1 contributes to OFM yet its specific functions remain unclear. Here, we define context-dependent functions of PARP1 during OFM. Under physiological conditions, PARP1 co-localizes with PCNA in early S phase and restrains Pol δ-PCNA-mediated strand-displacement DNA synthesis, thereby preventing the formation of long 5' flaps, which is refractory to FEN1 cleavage. On the other hand, in LIG1-deficient cells, in which DNA nicks and unexpectedly long 5' flaps accumulate, PARP1 promotes the recruitment of LIG3 to catalyze OF ligation and DNA2 to facilitate long 5' flap processing. Collectively, our findings uncover previously unrecognized roles of PARP1 in regulating 5' flap dynamics to ensure efficient OFM and cell viability.
