Totipotency in the absence of CAF-I: unhindered choices when the chaperone is out.
Article in Nucleus (Austin, Tex.), 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Embryonal totipotent cells can produce both embryonic and extraembryonic tissues and can generate whole organisms. In mice this level of genome plasticity is preserved in the 2-cell embryos, but is absent in embryonic cells from later stages of development. Recently it has been demonstrated that totipotent-like cells spontaneously appear in embryonic stem cell cultures and that the depletion of the histone chaperone Chromatin Assembly Factor I (CAF-I) increases the abundance of 2cell-like cells. On the other hand, earlier studies have demonstrated that CAF-I is necessary for epigenetic conversions at the telomeres of S. cerevisiae. This commentary proposes that the absence of CAF-I confers totipotency of embryonic cells and that its activation triggers chromatin changes that reset the epigenome toward cell differentiation.
