Picking a nucleosome lock: Sequence- and structure-specific recognition of the nucleosome.
Review in Journal of biosciences, 2020. 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
The nucleosome presents a formidable barrier to DNA-templated transcription by the RNA polymerase II machinery. Overcoming this transcriptional barrier in a locus-specific manner requires sequence-specific recognition of nucleosomal DNA by 'pioneer' transcription factors (TFs). Cell fate decisions, in turn, depend on the coordinated action of pioneer TFs at cell lineage-specific gene regulatory elements. Although it is already appreciated that pioneer factors play a critical role in cell differentiation, our understanding of the structural and biochemical mechanisms by which they act is still rapidly expanding. Recent research has revealed novel insight into modes of nucleosome-TF binding and uncovered kinetic principles by which nucleosomal DNA compaction affects both TF binding and residence time. Here, we review progress and argue that these structural and kinetic studies suggest new models of gene regulation by pioneer TFs.
