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

We report here a detailed study of developmental changes in the methylation status of specific sites in a single-copy tissue-specific gene, from the germ cell through the early embryo to adult tissues. Two sites at the 5' end of the mouse apolipoprotein AI gene were unmethylated in the ovulated unfertilized oocytes and methylated in the sperm. In contrast, a third site, located upstream of the gene, was methylated and a CpG island within the gene was unmethylated in both oocyte and sperm. The methylated sites, regardless of maternal or paternal origin, underwent demethylation in the early embryo (8-16 cells) and stayed unmethylated through the late blastocyst stage. During gastrulation, non-CpG island sites underwent methylation, followed by gradual demethylation at specific sites in tissues parallel to expression of the gene (liver and intestine). The formation of the mature tissue-specific methylation pattern of the apolipoprotein AI gene, therefore, involves the following three major events: (i) erasure of the germ-cell methylation pattern (at the 8- to 16-cell stage), (ii) formation of a new methylation pattern by de novo methylation of non-CpG island sites (during gastrulation), and (iii) tissue-specific demethylation associated with the onset of expression of the gene.
