Genetic ablation of interacting with Spt6 (Iws1) causes early embryonic lethality.
Article in PloS one, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
IWS1 is an RNA-polymerase II (RNAPII)-associated transcription elongation factor whose biological functions are poorly characterized. To shed some light on the function of this protein at the organismal level, we performed a systematic tissue analysis of its expression and generated Iws1-deficient mice. A thorough immunohistochemical characterization shows that IWS1 protein is present in the nucleus of all cells in most of the examined tissues, with few notable exceptions. We also report that ablation of Iws1 consistently causes lethality at the pre-implantation stage with high expression of the gene in fertilized oocytes. In summary, we are providing evidence that Iws1 is expressed in all adult organs and it is an essential gene for mouse embryonic development.
