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
Histone post-translational modifications are critical for mediating persistent alterations in gene expression. By combining unbiased proteomics profiling and genome-wide approaches, we uncovered a role for mono-methylation of lysine 27 at histone H3 (H3K27me1) in the enduring effects of stress. Specifically, mice susceptible to early life stress (ELS) or chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) displayed increased H3K27me1 enrichment in the nucleus accumbens (NAc), a key brain-reward region. Stress-induced H3K27me1 accumulation occurred at genes that control neuronal excitability and was mediated by the VEFS domain of SUZ12, a core subunit of the polycomb repressive complex-2, which controls H3K27 methylation patterns. Viral VEFS expression changed the transcriptional profile of the NAc, led to social, emotional, and cognitive abnormalities, and altered excitability and synaptic transmission of NAc D1-medium spiny neurons. Together, we describe a novel function of H3K27me1 in the brain and demonstrate its role as a "chromatin scar" that mediates lifelong stress susceptibility.
