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

Transcription factors control gene expression programs in the context of the chromatin structure of their target genes. DNA methylation, post-translational histone modifications such as acetylation and methylation, and higher order chromatin organization allow the maintenance of gene expression patterns through mitosis, but how do they accommodate developmentally regulated changes in gene expression programs? Although histone acetylation and deacetylation are in dynamic equilibrium and mechanisms for the removal of methyl groups from histones are emerging, the extent to which there is active demethylation of DNA remains controversial. Looking at chromatin in the three-dimensional space of the nucleus, recent work demonstrates that gene regulation involves contacts between regulatory elements within genes or gene clusters on the same chromosome (in cis) and between different chromosomes (in trans). Finally, non-coding RNAs make a significant contribution to transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene silencing. Together, these advances contribute to an understanding of how gene expression programs are established, maintained and modified during development.
