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 the early mammalian embryo, X chromosome inactivation (XCI) achieves dosage parity between males and females for X-linked genes. During mouse development, imprinted paternal XCI is observed first and switches to random XCI in the epiblast but not placental lineages. The mechanism by which this epigenetic switch occurs is currently unknown. Here, we establish an ex vivo model for imprinting and identify a novel trans-acting regulatory factor for imprinted XCI. Using an induced trophoblast stem cell (iTS) model, we show that embryonic stem (ES) cells transdifferentiated into trophoblasts retain partial memory of the XCI imprint. Cdx2, a stem cell factor that determines commitment to the extraembryonic lineage, directly binds Xist and activates expression of Xist RNA in extrembryonic cells. Cdx2 competes with Oct4, a stem cell factor that determines commitment to the embryonic lineage, for overlapping binding sites within Xist. We propose that mutually exclusive binding between Cdx2 and Oct4 in Xist underlies the switch between imprinted and random XCI in the early mouse embryo.
