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

A variety of chromatin features have been implicated in the regulation of gene expression, including nucleosome occupancy at promoters, histone modifications and variants, and DNA methylation. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Lin and colleagues use a powerful single-molecule approach to explore the relationship between nucleosome occupancy and gene expression in cancer cells. They show that nucleosome occupancy is mostly all-or-none at the multiple start sites of the MLH1 CpG island. After demethylation by drug treatment, nucleosomes are permanently lost as transcription becomes reactivated. Thus, epigenetic maintenance of gene expression may require that promoters are maintained free of nucleosomes.
