Symmetric control of sister chromatid cohesion establishment.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Besides entrapping sister chromatids, cohesin drives other high-order chromosomal structural dynamics like looping, compartmentalization and condensation. ESCO2 acetylates a subset of cohesin so that cohesion must be established and only be established between nascent sister chromatids. How this process is precisely achieved remains unknown. Here, we report that GSK3 family kinases provide higher hierarchical control through an ESCO2 regulator, CRL4MMS22L. GSK3s phosphorylate Thr105 in MMS22L, resulting in homo-dimerization of CRL4MMS22L and ESCO2 during S phase as evidenced by single-molecule spectroscopy and several biochemical approaches. A single phospho-mimicking mutation on MMS22L (T105D) is sufficient to mediate their dimerization and rescue the cohesion defects caused by GSK3 or MMS22L depletion, whereas non-phosphorylable T105A exerts dominant-negative effects even in wildtype cells. Through cell fractionation and time-course measurements, we show that GSK3s facilitate the timely chromatin association of MMS22L and ESCO2 and subsequently SMC3 acetylation. The necessity of ESCO2 dimerization implicates symmetric control of cohesion establishment in eukaryotes.
