The Multifunctional SMC5/6 Complex in Genome Stability, Antiviral Restriction, and Human Disease.
Review in Current issues in molecular biology, 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
The Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes 5/6 (SMC5/6) complex is a key regulator of genome stability that participates in the recognition, stabilization, and processing of DNA intermediates generated during DNA replication and homologous recombination. Recent advances in structural and biochemical studies have revealed the architecture of the SMC5/6 complex and elucidated the molecular mechanisms by which ATPase activity, DNA-binding modules, and SUMO-and ubiquitin-mediated regulatory pathways cooperate to maintain genome integrity. Extensive evidence has further demonstrated that SMC5/6 functions as a broad-spectrum antiviral restriction factor by recognizing and silencing episomal viral genomes, whereas diverse viruses have evolved strategies to evade or counteract its activity. In addition, dysfunction of the SMC5/6 complex has been associated with cancer, developmental disorders, and genome instability syndromes. This review summarizes recent advances in the structure, molecular mechanisms, antiviral functions, and disease relevance of the SMC5/6 complex, providing a basis for a deeper understanding of its diverse biological functions and potential applications.
