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
Recent studies have shown that repressive chromatin machinery, including DNA methyltransferases and polycomb repressor complexes, binds to chromosomes throughout mitosis and their depletion results in increased chromosome size. In the present study, we show that enzymes that catalyze H3K9 methylation, such as Suv39h1, Suv39h2, G9a and Glp, are also retained on mitotic chromosomes. Surprisingly, however, mutants lacking histone 3 lysine 9 trimethylation (H3K9me3) have unusually small and compact mitotic chromosomes associated with increased histone H3 phospho Ser10 (H3S10ph) and H3K27me3 levels. Chromosome size and centromere compaction in these mutants were rescued by providing exogenous first protein lysine methyltransferase Suv39h1 or inhibiting Ezh2 activity. Quantitative proteomic comparisons of native mitotic chromosomes isolated from wild-type versus Suv39h1/Suv39h2 double-null mouse embryonic stem cells revealed that H3K9me3 was essential for the efficient retention of bookmarking factors such as Esrrb. These results highlight an unexpected role for repressive heterochromatin domains in preserving transcription factor binding through mitosis and underscore the importance of H3K9me3 for sustaining chromosome architecture and epigenetic memory during cell division.
