DNA end-resection is stimulated by an interaction between BRCA1 exon 11 and TOPBP1.
Article in EMBO reports, 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
Approximately 60% of the tumour suppressor protein BRCA1 is encoded by a single exon. Many tumours carry mutations in this exon, often resulting in exon skipping and thus a protein of a severely reduced size. Although none of the well-described protein domains of BRCA1 are encoded by this exon 11, the isoform lacking this part shows a hypomorphic activity in homologous recombination. To better understand the function of this large exon, we performed proteomic analyses to identify interaction partners via this part of the protein. Here, we report a DNA damage- and phospho-dependent interaction of TOPBP1 with the protein region of BRCA1 encoded by exon 11. Mechanistically, this interaction is required for BRCA1's role in end-resection during homologous recombination. In contrast, the interaction is not required for TOPBP1's role in ATR activation. Our data provide novel mechanistic insight into the function of this poorly characterized part of the BRCA1 protein.
