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
TIMELESS (TIM) in the fork protection complex acts as a scaffold of the replisome to prevent its uncoupling and ensure efficient DNA replication fork progression. Nevertheless, its underlying basis for coordinating leading and lagging strand synthesis to limit single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) exposure remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate that acute degradation of TIM at ongoing DNA replication forks induces the accumulation of ssDNA gaps stemming from defective Okazaki fragment (OF) processing. Cells devoid of TIM fail to support the poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation necessary for backing up the canonical OF processing mechanism mediated by LIG1 and FEN1. Consequently, recruitment of XRCC1, a known effector of PARP1-dependent single-strand break repair, to post-replicative ssDNA gaps behind replication forks is impaired. Physical disruption of the TIM-PARP1 complex phenocopies the rapid loss of TIM, indicating that the TIM-PARP1 interaction is critical for the activation of this compensatory pathway. Accordingly, combined deficiency of FEN1 and the TIM-PARP1 interaction leads to synergistic DNA damage and cytotoxicity. We propose that TIM is essential for the engagement of PARP1 to the replisome to coordinate lagging strand synthesis with replication fork progression. Our study identifies TIM as a synthetic lethal target of OF processing enzymes that can be exploited for cancer therapy.
