Beyond Nucleotide Excision Repair: The Importance of XPF in Base Excision Repair and Its Impact on Cancer, Inflammation, and Aging.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
DNA repair involves various intricate pathways that work together to maintain genome integrity. XPF (ERCC4) is a structural endonuclease that forms a heterodimer with ERCC1 that is critical in both single-strand break repair (SSBR) and double-strand break repair (DSBR). Although the mechanistic function of ERCC1/XPF has been established in nucleotide excision repair (NER), its role in long-patch base excision repair (BER) has recently been discovered through the 5'-Gap pathway. This study briefly explores the roles of XPF in different pathways to emphasize the importance of XPF in DNA repair. XPF deficiency manifests in various diseases, including cancer, neurodegeneration, and aging-related disorders; it is also associated with conditions such as Xeroderma pigmentosum and fertility issues. By examining the molecular mechanisms and pathological consequences linked to XPF dysfunction, this study aims to elucidate the crucial role of XPF in genomic stability as a repair protein in BER and provide perspectives regarding its potential as a therapeutic target in related diseases.
