Cohesin ring gates are specialized for meiotic cell division.

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
Cohesin is a ring complex closed with structural maintenance of chromosome 1 (SMC-1), SMC-3, and a kleisin subunit, mediating sister chromatid cohesion in mitosis and meiosis. Kleisin N- and C-terminal domains interact with SMC-3 and SMC-1, forming two distinct cohesin gates. Whether these gates are specialized for mitosis and meiosis remains elusive. Here, we create Caenorhabditis elegans mutants that express chimeric proteins swapping N- and C-terminal domains between different kleisins to investigate how these gates are specialized for different cell division programs. Replacing the meiotic REC-8 N-terminus with that of a cell division-unrelated kleisin COH-1 or the mitotic kleisin sister chromatid cohesion protein 1 (SCC-1) disrupts inter-sister chromatid cohesion and causes severe meiotic defects. Swapping the REC-8 C-terminus with that of COH-1 or SCC-1 largely retains the meiotic functions of REC-8 but causes age-related chromosome abnormalities. A specialized C-terminus is also required for the functions of SCC-1. Furthermore, point mutations in the REC-8 C-terminus cause severe meiotic defects without impairing the SMC-1-kleisin interaction, suggesting an integrated SMC-1-kleisin gate. These findings suggest the requirements for specialized cohesin gates in different biological processes.
