1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Polycomb group and trithorax group proteins maintain the memory of repressed and active chromatin states by regulating chromatin of their target genes via DNA sequences termed Polycomb- and trithorax response elements. Since these elements often overlap and are able to convey the memory of both silent and active chromatin through cell division, they were also defined as cellular memory modules (CMMs). We identify here a minimal CMM of 219 bp from the Drosophila Fab-7 region that regulates the homeotic gene Abdominal-B. This CMM conveys the inheritance of active chromatin states induced by an embryonic pulse of transcriptional activation via recruitment of the trithorax group proteins Trithorax (TRX) and Brahma (BRM), the Drosophila homologue of the SWI2/SNF2 ATPase involved in chromatin remodelling. Within this CMM, DNA-binding sites for the Zeste protein are necessary for the inheritance of active chromatin through Zeste-dependent recruitment of BRM, while TRX can bind the CMM even in their absence. Thus, epigenetic inheritance of active chromatin states involves the recruitment of multiple cooperative chromatin-modifying complexes at closely spaced but distinct sites within a CMM.
