Distinct functions of mammalian RAD51 paralogs in genome maintenance.
Review in Biochemical Society transactions, 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
RAD51 paralogs (RAD51B, RAD51C, RAD51D, XRCC2, and XRCC3) are evolutionarily conserved essential proteins for cell survival and genome maintenance. RAD51 paralogs were originally identified to play a role in homologous recombination-mediated repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). However, investigations over the last decade have uncovered new roles of RAD51 paralogs beyond DSB repair in replication stress responses, including replication fork progression, fork stability, and its restart. Recent structural studies have not only uncovered the molecular architecture of previously known RAD51 paralog complexes but also identified novel paralog complex assemblies, providing mechanistic insights into their various genome-maintenance functions. Additionally, a role for RAD51 paralogs in resolving R-loops has been identified, and studies with cancer-associated variants suggest that RAD51 paralogs are potential determinants of cancer susceptibility and therapeutic responses. In the present review, we highlight the recently deciphered structures and novel functions of RAD51 paralog complexes and discuss the clinical and therapeutic implications.
