Replication stress induces POLQ-mediated structural variant formation throughout common fragile sites after entry into mitosis.
Article in Nature communications, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Genomic structural variants (SVs) greatly impact human health, but much is unknown about the mechanisms that generate the largest class of nonrecurrent alterations. Common fragile sites (CFSs) are unstable loci that provide a model for SV formation, especially large deletions, under replication stress. We study SV junction formation as it occurs in human cell lines by applying error-minimized capture sequencing to CFS DNA harvested after low-dose aphidicolin treatment. SV junctions form throughout CFS genes at a 5-fold higher rate after cells pass from G2 into M-phase. Neither SV formation nor CFS expression depend on mitotic DNA synthesis (MiDAS), an error-prone form of replication active at CFSs. Instead, analysis of tens of thousands of de novo SV junctions combined with DNA repair pathway inhibition reveal a primary role for DNA polymerase theta (POLQ)-mediated end-joining (TMEJ). We propose an important role for mitotic TMEJ in nonrecurrent SV formation genome wide.
