Domain dynamics within the PriA DNA helicase regulate DNA replication restart.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 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
Prematurely terminated DNA replication processes in bacteria must be restarted for successful genome duplication. In Escherichia coli, the PriA DNA helicase orchestrates replication restart by assembling the PriA/PriB/DnaT preprimosome complex onto abandoned DNA replication forks and reloading the replicative machinery. We show that the structure of the replication fork lagging strand-whether single- or double-stranded-influences the position of the cysteine-rich region in bound PriA (PriACRR). When PriA binds to synthetic replication forks with a single-stranded lagging strand, the PriACRR is found either in a state similar to free PriA or in a rotated position that encircles the lagging strand and allows PriB recruitment. Binding to a synthetic replication fork with a duplex lagging strand neither alters the PriACRR position nor promotes PriB binding, suggesting PriA must unwind duplex lagging-strand DNA to trigger PriACRR movement and subsequent preprimosome formation. PriA variants designed to destabilize the two PriACRR positions differentially affect ATPase activity, helicase function, PriB binding in vitro, and PriA activity in vivo. These results support a regulatory switch model in which the lagging-strand DNA structure modulates the PriACRR position, thereby governing PriA's biochemical and cellular activities.
