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

Allele-specific DNA methylation, histone acetylation and histone methylation are recognized as epigenetic characteristics of imprinted genes and imprinting centers (ICs). These epigenetic modifications are also used to regulate tissue-specific gene expression. Epigenetic differences between alleles can be significant either in the function of the IC or in the cis-acting effect of the IC on 'target' genes responding to it. We have now examined the epigenetic characteristics of NDN, a target gene of the chromosome 15q11-q13 Prader-Willi Syndrome IC, using sodium bisulfite sequencing to analyze DNA methylation and chromatin immunoprecipitation to analyze histone modifications. We observed a bias towards maternal allele-specific DNA hypermethylation of the promoter CpG island of NDN, independent of tissue-specific transcriptional activity. We also found that NDN lies in a domain of paternal allele-specific histone hyperacetylation that correlates with transcriptional state, and a domain of differential histone H3 lysine 4 di- and tri-methylation that persists independent of transcription. These results suggest that DNA methylation and histone H3 lysine 4 methylation are persistent markers of imprinted gene regulation while histone acetylation participates in tissue-specific activity and silencing in somatic cells.
