Membrane-less compartments in the nucleus: Separated or connected phases?
Review in Current opinion in cell biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
In recent years, it has become increasingly clear that many nuclear membrane-less compartments have liquid-like properties and may form through the physicochemical process of phase separation. In this review, we will first discuss how various nuclear compartments, such as the genome, transcription compartments, and nuclear bodies are formed through phase separation. Then, we propose that inter-compartmental communications can also be prevalent and may be mediated by inter-compartmental diffusion of macromolecules, fusion among different compartments, and transient or stable contacts among nuclear compartments. Understanding how nuclear compartments communicate with each other represents an exciting new area of research and may reveal important insights about cellular functions and uncover previously under-appreciated disease mechanisms.
