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

ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling is essential for replication, transcription, and DNA repair, especially DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair. However, the mechanisms underlying chromatin remodeling remain elusive. Here, we investigated the role of CHRAC17, a component of the chromatin assembly complex (CHRAC), in maintaining genome stability. In response to DSBs, the ISWI-family ATPase complex SNF2H-ACF1 is immediately recruited to DSBs through the H2B-type histone-fold protein CHRAC17, forming CHRAC, which promotes nucleosome assembly and recruits BRCA1 and RAD51 to the DSB site. CHRAC promotes later RAD51-mediated HR steps through additional nucleosome-remodeling activity, including nucleosome sliding activity. CHRAC17, also known as POLE3, is a subunit of DNA polymerase ε (Polε). Polε is recruited to DSBs via CHRAC17, facilitating RAD51-mediated homologous recombination (HR) and conferring resistance to PARP inhibitors. These findings define a mechanism of homologous recombination driven by coordinated regulation of nucleosome dynamics by CHRAC and Polε, thereby ensuring genome stability.
