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 and transcription share the DNA template and must be coordinated to preserve genome integrity. Although temporally organized across the cell cycle, essential transcriptional programs-encoding replication machinery, canonical histones, and DNA repair factors-operate concurrently with DNA synthesis during S phase. Transcription-replication conflicts (TRCs) therefore constitute a recurrent endogenous source of replication stress (RS), particularly under hypertranscriptional or chromatin-constrained conditions. A frequent outcome of TRCs is the formation of R-loops-RNA:DNA hybrids that can stall or collapse replication forks, leading to DNA damage. This review summarizes current evidence supporting a broader involvement of ERCC6/CSB at the transcription-replication interface beyond its established role in transcription-coupled repair. We discuss how ERCC6 participates in RNA polymerase II processing, chromatin remodeling, R-loop metabolism, replication fork protection, and repair pathway engagement following RS, operating through both its ATPase domain and intrinsically disordered regions. Conversely, in homologous recombination-deficient contexts,
