Article in Genome research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 48 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
Polycomb group proteins are important for maintaining gene expression patterns and cell identity in metazoans. The mammalian Polycomb repressive deubiquitinase (PR-DUB) complexes catalyze removal of monoubiquitination on lysine 119 of histone H2A (H2AK119ub1) through a multiprotein core comprised of BAP1, HCFC1, FOXK1/2, and OGT in combination with either of ASXL1, 2, or 3. Mutations in PR-DUB components are frequent in cancer. However, mechanistic understanding of PR-DUB function in gene regulation is limited. Here, we show that BAP1 is dependent on the ASXL proteins and FOXK1/2 in facilitating gene activation across the genome. Although PR-DUB was previously shown to cooperate with PRC2, we observed minimal overlap and functional interaction between BAP1 and PRC2 in embryonic stem cells. Collectively, these results demonstrate that PR-DUB, by counteracting accumulation of H2AK119ub1, maintains chromatin in an optimal configuration ensuring expression of genes important for general functions such as cell metabolism and homeostasis.
