hMSH5 Regulates NHEJ and Averts Excessive Nucleotide Alterations at Repair Joints.
Article in Genes, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Inappropriate repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) leads to genomic instability, cell death, or malignant transformation. Cells minimize these detrimental effects by selectively activating suitable DSB repair pathways in accordance with their underlying cellular context. Here, we report that hMSH5 down-regulates NHEJ and restricts the extent of DSB end processing before rejoining, thereby reducing "excessive" deletions and insertions at repair joints. RNAi-mediated knockdown of hMSH5 led to large nucleotide deletions and longer insertions at the repair joints, while at the same time reducing the average length of microhomology (MH) at repair joints. Conversely, hMSH5 overexpression reduced end-joining activity and increased RPA foci formation (i.e., more stable ssDNA at DSB ends). Furthermore, silencing of hMSH5 delayed 53BP1 chromatin spreading, leading to increased end resection at DSB ends.
