DNA polymerase ε harmonizes topological states and R-loops formation to maintain genome integrity in Arabidopsis.
Article in Nature communications, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Genome topology is tied to R-loop formation and genome stability. However, the regulatory mechanism remains to be elucidated. By establishing a system to sense the connections between R-loops and genome topology states, we show that inhibiting DNA topoisomerase 1 (TOP1i) triggers the global increase of R-loops (called topoR-loops) and DNA damages, which are exacerbated in the DNA damage repair-compromised mutant atm. A suppressor screen identifies a mutation in POL2A, the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase ε, rescuing the TOP1i-induced topoR-loop accumulation and genome instability in atm. Importantly we find that a highly conserved junction domain between the exonuclease and polymerase domains in POL2A is required for modulating topoR-loops near DNA replication origins and facilitating faithful DNA replication. Our results suggest that DNA replication acts in concert with genome topological states to fine-tune R-loops and thereby maintain genome integrity, revealing a likely conserved regulatory mechanism of TOP1i resistance in chemotherapy for ATM-deficient cancers.
