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 remodeling by SWI/SNF complexes is essential for transcriptional regulation, yet how distinct SWI/SNF subcomplexes contribute to cellular stress responses remains incompletely understood. Here, we identify a specific role for the PBAF subunit Baf180 in regulating metal-responsive transcription and adaptation to metal stress in proliferating myoblasts. While knockdown (KD) of the BAF-specific subunit Baf250a or the ncBAF-specific subunit Brd9 significantly impairs myoblast proliferation, KD of the PBAF-specific subunit Baf180 has no effect under basal conditions. Notably, supplementation with copper (Cu) or zinc (Zn) restores proliferative capacity in Baf250a- and Brd9-deficient myoblasts. In contrast, Baf180-depleted myoblasts exhibit impaired proliferation upon metal exposure, accompanied by selective dysregulation of genes involved in Cu and Zn homeostasis. Transcriptomic and chromatin profiling further reveal that loss of Baf180 alters the activity of metal-regulatory transcription factor 1 (MTF1), including reduced chromatin occupancy at metal-responsive loci. Together, these findings support a model in which PBAF promotes metal-responsive gene regulation to maintain metal homeostasis and sustain myoblast proliferation, uncovering a previously unrecognized link between nucleosome remodeling and metal homeostasis during muscle cell proliferation.
