Distinct requirements for Pho, Sfmbt, and Ino80 for cell survival in Drosophila.
Article in Genetics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The Drosophila proteins Pleiohomeotic (Pho) and its paralog Pho-like (Phol) are the homologs of the mammalian transcription factor YY1. Pho and Phol are subunits of the Polycomb group protein complex PhoRC and they are also stably associated with the INO80 nucleosome remodeling complex. Drosophila lacking both Pho and Phol arrest development as larvae with small misshaped imaginal discs. The basis of this phenotype is poorly understood. We find that in pho phol mutant animals cells retain the capacity to proliferate but show a high incidence of apoptotic cell death that results in tissue hypoplasia. Clonal analyses establish that cells stringently require Pho and Phol to survive. In contrast, the PhoRC subunit Sfmbt and the ATP-dependent nucleosome remodeling factor Ino80 are not essential for cell viability. Pho and Phol, therefore, execute their critical role for cell survival through mechanisms that do not involve Sfmbt function or INO80 nucleosome remodeling.
