Functional Significance of Satellite DNAs: Insights From
Review in Frontiers in cell and developmental 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
Since their discovery more than 60 years ago, satellite repeats are still one of the most enigmatic parts of eukaryotic genomes. Being non-coding DNA, satellites were earlier considered to be non-functional "junk," but recently this concept has been extensively revised. Satellite DNA contributes to the essential processes of formation of crucial chromosome structures, heterochromatin establishment, dosage compensation, reproductive isolation, genome stability and development. Genomic abundance of satellites is under stabilizing selection owing of their role in the maintenance of vital regions of the genome - centromeres, pericentromeric regions, and telomeres. Many satellites are transcribed with the generation of long or small non-coding RNAs. Misregulation of their expression is found to lead to various defects in the maintenance of genomic architecture, chromosome segregation and gametogenesis. This review summarizes our current knowledge concerning satellite functions, the mechanisms of regulation and evolution of satellites, focusing on recent findings in
