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

Most mouse embryos developing in the absence of the oocyte-derived DNA methyltransferase 1o (DNMT1o-deficient embryos) have significant delays in development and a wide range of anatomical abnormalities. To understand the timing and molecular basis of such variation, we studied pre- and post-implantation DNA methylation as a gauge of epigenetic variation among these embryos. DNMT1o-deficient embryos showed extensive differences in the levels of methylation in differentially methylated domains (DMDs) of imprinted genes at the 8-cell stage. Because of independent assortment of the methylated and unmethylated chromatids created by the loss of DNMT1o, the deficient embryos were found to be mosaics of cells with different, but stable epigenotypes (DNA methylation patterns). Our results suggest that loss of DNMT1o in just one cell cycle is responsible for the extensive variation in the epigenotypes in both embryos and their associated extraembryonic tissues. Thus, the maternal-effect DNMT1o protein is uniquely poised during development to normally ensure uniform parental methylation patterns at DMDs.
