Dual Roads of CENP-A for Centromere Identification.
Review in BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology, 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
Faithful chromosome segregation requires the kinetochore, a macromolecular protein complex that assembles on centromeric chromatin. In vertebrates, centromere identity is epigenetically defined by the histone H3 variant CENP-A, whose nucleosomes are replenished during early G1 phase through a cell cycle-regulated deposition mechanism. The CENP-A chaperone HJURP is recruited to centromeres via the Mis18 complex to enable CENP-A incorporation (Mis18C pathway). Recent genetic analyses in chicken cells, however, revealed an additional, independent recruitment route via direct HJURP-CENP-C interaction (CENP-C pathway). Structural studies show that CENP-C and the Mis18C subunit KNL2/M18BP1 engage pre-existing CENP-A nucleosomes at different surfaces of the Constitutive Centromere-Associated Network (CCAN), constraining the spatial coordinates where new CENP-A is incorporated. This review summarizes current understanding of HJURP recruitment mechanisms for vertebrate CENP-A deposition and proposes that this structure-defined deposition geometry underlies epigenetic self-propagation of centromere positional information by maintaining proper CCAN spacing across cell divisions.
