1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

In a new paper in Cell Research, Ji et al. find that transcription factor-instigated opening of chromatin, during cell reprogramming, can be sensed by the Baf60b-containing chromatin remodeling complex, which then activates the ATM-p53 pathway, leading to cell death. These findings from reprogramming studies unveil what I term a "chromatin remodeling checkpoint" whereby extensive, inappropriate chromatin opening events lead to cell elimination, thus preventing cell fate conversion that might occur upon tissue damage; if unchecked, such conversion could lead to metaplasia and cancer.
