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

The establishment of de novo-generated patterns of DNA methylation is characterized by the gradual spreading of DNA methylation (I. Kuhlmann and W. Doerfler, J. Virol. 47:631-636, 1983; M. Toth, U. Lichtenberg, and W. Doerfler, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 86:3728-3732, 1989; M. Toth, U. Müller, and W. Doerfler J. Mol. Biol. 214:673-683, 1990). We have used integrated adenovirus type 12 (Ad12) genomes in hamster tumor cells as a model system to study the mechanism of de novo DNA methylation. Ad12 induces tumors in neonate hamsters, and the viral DNA is integrated into the hamster genome, usually nearly intact and in an orientation that is colinear with that of the virion genome. The integrated Ad12 DNA in the tumor cells is weakly methylated at the 5'-CCGG-3' sequences. These sequences appear to be a reliable indicator for the state of methylation in mammalian DNA. Upon explantation of the tumor cells into culture medium, DNA methylation at 5'-CCGG-3' sequences gradually spreads across the integrated viral genomes with increasing passage numbers of cells in culture. Methylation is reproducibly initiated in the region between 30 and 75 map units on the integrated viral genome and progresses from there in either direction on the genome. Eventually, the genome is strongly methylated, except for the terminal 2 to 5% on either end, which remains hypomethylated. Similar observations have been made with tumor cell lines with different sites of Ad12 DNA integration. In contrast, the levels of DNA methylation do not seem to change after tumor cell explanation in several segments of hamster cell DNA of the unique or repetitive type. Restriction (HpaII) and Southern blot experiments were performed with selected cloned hamster cellular DNA probes. The data suggest that in the integrated foreign DNA, there exist nucleotide sequences or structures or chromatin arrangements that can be preferentially recognized by the system responsible for de novo DNA methylation in mammalian cells.
