Structural biology of SMC complexes across the tree of life.
Review in Current opinion in structural biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
Structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complexes guard and organize the three-dimensional structure of chromosomal DNA across the tree of life. Many SMC functions can be explained by an inherent motor activity that extrudes large DNA loops while the complexes move along their substrate. Here, we review recent structural insights into the architecture and conservation of these molecular machines, their interaction with DNA, and the conformational changes that are linked to their ATP hydrolysis cycle.
