The RAG-2 Inhibitory Domain Gates Accessibility of the V(D)J Recombinase to Chromatin.
Article in Molecular and cellular biology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Accessibility of antigen receptor loci to RAG is correlated with the presence of H3K4me3, which binds to a plant homeodomain (PHD) in the RAG-2 subunit and promotes V(D)J recombination. A point mutation in the PHD, W453A, eliminates binding of H3K4me3 and impairs recombination. The debilitating effect of the W453A mutation is ameliorated by second-site mutations that locate an inhibitory domain in the interval from residues 352 through 405 of RAG-2. Disruption of the inhibitory domain stimulates V(D)J recombination within extrachromosomal substrates and at endogenous antigen receptor loci. Association of RAG-1 and RAG-2 with chromatin at the
