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

Heterochromatin causes epigenetic repression that can be transmitted through multiple cell divisions. However, the mechanisms underlying silencing and stability of heterochromatin are not fully understood. We show that heterochromatin differs from euchromatin in histone turnover and identify histone deacetylase (HDAC) Clr3 as a factor required for inhibiting histone turnover across heterochromatin domains in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Loss of RNA-interference factors, Clr4 methyltransferase or HP1 proteins involved in HDAC localization causes increased histone turnover across pericentromeric domains. Clr3 also affects histone turnover at the silent mating-type region, where it can be recruited by alternative mechanisms acting in parallel to H3K9me-HP1. Notably, the JmjC-domain protein Epe1 promotes histone exchange, and loss of Epe1 suppresses both histone turnover and defects in heterochromatic silencing. Our results suggest that heterochromatic-silencing factors preclude histone turnover to promote silencing and inheritance of repressive chromatin.
