Protease-mediated PRC1 dissociation promotes H2AK119ub remodeling during stress responses.
Article in The EMBO journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Chromatin must remain competent for responding rapidly to stress signals. Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) contributes to chromatin compaction through mono-ubiquitylation of histone H2A at Lys119 (H2AK119ub), yet how PRC1 complexes are dissociated from chromatin is only incompletely understood. Here, we show that the protease CAPN3 promotes rapid dissociation of PRC1 complexes from chromatin in response to stress. Following liver injury or heat shock, CAPN3 becomes activated and proteolyzes non-core PRC1 subunits to release the complexes from chromatin, leading to a reduction of H2AK119ub levels. These findings demonstrate that CAPN3 facilitates the remodeling of the chromatin landscape, unveiling a protease-mediated epigenetic mechanism for chromatin remodeling, and reveal CAPN3 as a key regulator of stress-induced epigenetic responses.
