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

In most eukaryotes, histone and DNA modifications are responsible for the silencing of genes integrated in heterochromatic sequences, as well as the silencing of pericentromeric repeats and transposable elements themselves. But the mechanisms that guide these modifications to heterochromatin during the cell cycle have been elusive. RNA interference takes advantage of heterochromatic transcription to process small RNAs and recruit enzymes required for both histone and DNA modifications, and is one such mechanism that has been identified. The processes are best understood in fission yeast and plants, but recent work in mammalian cells, especially in the germline, suggests these mechanisms may be highly conserved.
