TRIM-NHL protein, NHL-2, modulates cell fate choices in the C. elegans germ line.
Article in Developmental biology, 2022. 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
Many tissues contain multipotent stem cells that are critical for maintaining tissue function. In Caenorhabditis elegans, germline stem cells allow gamete production to continue in adulthood. In the gonad, GLP-1/Notch signaling from the distal tip cell niche to neighboring germ cells activates a complex regulatory network to maintain a stem cell population. GLP-1/Notch signaling positively regulates production of LST-1 and SYGL-1 proteins that, in turn, interact with a set of PUF/FBF proteins to positively regulate the stem cell fate. We previously described sog (suppressor of glp-1 loss of function) and teg (tumorous enhancer of glp-1 gain of function) genes that limit the stem cell fate and/or promote the meiotic fate. Here, we show that sog-10 is allelic to nhl-2. NHL-2 is a member of the conserved TRIM-NHL protein family whose members can bind RNA and ubiquitinate protein substrates. We show that NHL-2 acts, at least in part, by inhibiting the expression of PUF-3 and PUF-11 translational repressor proteins that promote the stem cell fate. Two other negative regulators of stem cell fate, CGH-1 (conserved germline helicase) and ALG-5 (Argonaute protein), may work with NHL-2 to modulate the stem cell population. In addition, NHL-2 activity promotes the male germ cell fate in XX animals.
