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

DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mark in eukaryotes, and aberrant pattern of this modification is involved in numerous diseases such as cancers. Interestingly, DNA methylation is reversible and thus is considered a promising therapeutic target. Therefore, there is a need for identifying new small inhibitors of C5 DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs). Despite the development of numerous in vitro DNMT assays, there is a lack of reliable tests suitable for high-throughput screening, which can also give insights into inhibitor mechanisms of action. We developed a new test based on scintillation proximity assay meeting these requirements. After optimizing our assay on human DNMT1 and calibrating it with two known inhibitors, we carried out S-Adenosyl-l-Methionine and DNA competition studies on three inhibitors and were able to determine each mechanism of action. Finally, we showed that our test was applicable to 3 other methyltransferases sources: human DNMT3A, bacterial M.SssI and cellular extracts as well.
