UHRF2 regulates local 5-methylcytosine and suppresses spontaneous seizures.
Article in Epigenetics, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
The 5-methylcytosine (5mC) modification regulates multiple cellular processes and is faithfully maintained following DNA replication. In addition to DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) family proteins, ubiquitin-like PHD and ring finger domain-containing protein 1 (UHRF1) plays an important role in the maintenance of 5mC levels. Loss of UHRF1 abolishes 5mC in cells and leads to embryonic lethality in mice. Interestingly, UHRF1 has a paralog, UHRF2, that has similar sequence and domain architecture, but its biologic function is not clear. Here, we have generated Uhrf2 knockout mice and characterized the role of UHRF2 in vivo. Uhrf2 knockout mice are viable, but the adult mice develop frequent spontaneous seizures and display abnormal electrical activities in brain. Despite no global DNA methylation changes, 5mC levels are decreased at certain genomic loci in the brains of Uhrf2 knockout mice. Therefore, our study has revealed a unique role of UHRF2 in the maintenance of local 5mC levels in brain that is distinct from that of its paralog UHRF1.
