Critical role of the POT1 OB domain in maintaining genomic stability.
Article in Oncogene, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding (OB) domain-containing proteins have been identified as critical for telomere maintenance, DNA repair, transcription and other DNA metabolism processes. Protection of telomere 1 (POT1), a telomere binding protein, has an OB domain like single-strand binding protein (SSB1). In this issue of Oncogene, Gu et al. present evidence that POT1, like SSB1, is required to maintain genomic stability. This work, in conjunction with results from previous investigators, highlights the importance of POT1 in telomere metabolism. Inactivation of POT1 telomere protective functions in mouse models lacking p53 expression in the breast epithelium unleashes a torrent of DNA damage responses (DDRs) at the telomeres, culminating in karyotypic alterations with massive arrays of telomere fusions. Therefore, POT1 is not only required to promote telomere homeostasis, but also plays an essential role in maintaining a stable genome.
