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

The combinatorial pattern of DNA and histone modifications and their associated histone variants constitute an epigenetic code that shapes gene expression patterns by increasing or decreasing the transcriptional potential of genomic domains. The epigenetic coding status, at any given chromosomal location, is subject to modulation by noncoding RNAs and remodeling complexes. DNA methylation is associated with histone modifications, particularly the absence of histone H3 lysine 4 methylation (H3K4me0) and the presence of histone H3 lysine 9 methylation (H3K9m). We briefly discuss four protein domains (ADD, CXXC, MBD, and SRA), and the functional implications of their architecture in linking histone methylation to that of DNA in mammalian cells. We also consider the domain structure of the DNA methyltransferase DNMT1, its accessory protein UHRF1, and their associated proteins. Finally, we discuss a mechanism by which methylation of DNA and of histones may be coordinately maintained during mitotic cell division, allowing for the transmission of parental methylation patterns to newly replicated chromatin.
