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 major lysine methyltransferase (KMT) Setdb1 is essential for self-renewal and viability of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). Setdb1 was primarily known to methylate the lysine 9 of histone 3 (H3K9) in the nucleus, where it regulates chromatin functions. However, Setdb1 is also massively localized in the cytoplasm, including in mESCs, where its role remains elusive. Here, we show that the cytoplasmic Setdb1 (cSetdb1) is essential for the survival of mESCs. Yeast two-hybrid analysis revealed that cSetdb1 interacts with several regulators of mRNA stability and protein translation machinery, such as the ESCs-specific E3 ubiquitin ligase and mRNA silencer Trim71/Lin41. We found that cSetdb1 is required for the integrity of Trim71 complex(es) involved in mRNA metabolism and translation. cSetdb1 modulates the abundance of mRNAs and the rate of newly synthesized proteins. Altogether, our data uncovered the cytoplasmic post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression mediated by a key epigenetic regulator.
