Dynamic changes in histone-methylation 'marks' across the locus encoding interferon-gamma during the differentiation of T helper type 2 cells.

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 'histone-code' hypothesis proposes that cell fate 'decisions' are achieved through the creation of stable epigenetic histone 'marks' at gene loci. Here we explored the formation of marks of repressive methylation of histone 3 at lysine 9 (H3-K9) and of H3-K27 at the locus encoding interferon-gamma (Ifng locus) during the commitment of naive T cells to the T helper type 1 (TH1) and TH2 lineages. Methylation of H3-K9 across the Ifng locus was rapidly induced in differentiating TH1 and TH2 cells and was sustained in TH1 cells. In contrast, TH2 differentiation caused loss of methylation of H3-K9 and gain of methylation of H3-K27 by mechanisms dependent on the transcription factors GATA-3 and STAT6. Thus, histone-methylation marks at the Ifng locus are highly dynamic, which may ensure higher-order transcriptional regulation during early lineage commitment.
