PIWI proteins and piRNAs: key regulators of stem cell biology.
Review in Frontiers in cell and developmental biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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 this mini review, we discussed the functional roles of PIWI proteins and their associated small RNAs, piRNAs, in regulating gene expression within stem cell biology. Guided by piRNAs, these proteins transcriptionally and post-transcriptionally repress transposons using mechanisms such as the ping-pong amplification cycle and phasing to protect germline genomes.
