Transcriptionally Active Chromatin-Lessons Learned from the Chicken Erythrocyte Chromatin Fractionation.
Review in Cells, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 chicken erythrocyte model system has been valuable to the study of chromatin structure and function, specifically for genes involved in oxygen transport and the innate immune response. Several seminal features of transcriptionally active chromatin were discovered in this system. Davie and colleagues capitalized on the unique features of the chicken erythrocyte to separate and isolate transcriptionally active chromatin and silenced chromatin, using a powerful native fractionation procedure. Histone modifications, histone variants, atypical nucleosomes (U-shaped nucleosomes) and other chromatin structural features (open chromatin) were identified in these studies. More recently, the transcriptionally active chromosomal domains in the chicken erythrocyte genome were mapped by combining this chromatin fractionation method with next-generation DNA and RNA sequencing. The landscape of histone modifications relative to chromatin structural features in the chicken erythrocyte genome was reported in detail, including the first ever mapping of histone H4 asymmetrically dimethylated at Arg 3 (H4R3me2a) and histone H3 symmetrically dimethylated at Arg 2 (H3R2me2s), which are products of protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) 1 and 5, respectively. PRMT1 is important in the establishment and maintenance of chicken erythrocyte transcriptionally active chromatin.
