Article in The Journal of biological chemistry, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Histone acetyltransferase mortality factor 4-like 1 (MORF4L1) is a relatively new histone acetyltransferase component that exists as a homodimer to exert its epigenetic function. The mechanism of MORF4L1 self-assembly is unknown. Here we report that Lys-148 deacetylation is indispensable for facilitating MORF4L1 self-assembly into a homodimeric unit. Among a stretch of ∼10 amino acids in the NH2 terminus between the chromodomain and MORF4-related gene (MRG) domain within MORF4L1, Lys-148 is normally acetylated. Substitution of Lys-148 with arginine augments MORF4L1 self-assembly. However, acetylation mimics of MORF4L1, including K148L and K148Q, abolished its self-assembly of the histone acetyltransferase component. HDAC2, a deacetylase, interacts with and keeps MORF4L1 in a deacetylation status at Lys(148) that triggers MORF4L1 self-assembly. Knockdown of HDAC2 reduces MORF4L1 self-assembly. HDAC2-dependent deacetylation of MORF4L1 enhances MORF4L1 homodimerization, thus facilitating the functionality of complex formation to repress cell proliferation.
