Multivalent weak interactions between assembly units drive synaptonemal complex formation.
Article in The Journal of cell biology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 45 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 synaptonemal complex (SC) is an ordered but highly dynamic structure assembled between homologous chromosomes to control interhomologous crossover formation, ensuring accurate meiotic chromosome segregation. However, the mechanisms regulating SC assembly and dynamics remain unclear. Here, we identified two new SC components, SYP-5 and SYP-6, in Caenorhabditis elegans that have distinct expression patterns and form distinct SC assembly units with other SYPs through stable interactions. SYP-5 and SYP-6 exhibit diverse in vivo SC regulatory functions and distinct phase separation properties in cells. Charge-interacting elements (CIEs) are enriched in SC intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs), and IDR deletion or CIE removal confirmed a requirement for these elements in SC regulation. Our data support the theory that multivalent weak interactions between the SC units drive SC formation and that CIEs confer multivalency to the assembly units.
