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

Normal development depends on the precise sequence of changes in the configuration of chromatin; these are primarily related to specific biochemical modifications such as acetylation or methylation of histones and DNA methylation. While the role of DNA methylation during preimplantation development has been studied extensively, little is known about histone modifications related to early embryonic development. Here, we investigated gene-specific histone modifications in in vitro produced bovine blastocysts. Selected genes thought to be critical for bovine preimplantation development were examined and included POU5F1 (OCT4), NANOG, INFT, GAPDH, SLC2A3 and IGF1. We used chromatin immunoprecipitation from pools of bovine blastocysts to unravel several modifications of histone H3 in relation to mRNA expression profiles. We focused on the two cell compartments of the blastocyst, the inner cell mass (ICM) and the trophectoderm (TE). We show that gene expression patterns in the ICM and TE of the bovine blastocyst are consistent with histone modification patterns on the promoter of the corresponding genes. The data show a complex epigenetic pattern of promoter occupancy by transcriptionally permissive and repressive H3 modifications. These results pave the way to in-depth epigenetic studies of preimplantation embryos that are crucial to gain a better understanding of the epigenetic changes frequently observed after use of assisted reproductive technologies.
