Epigenetic disruptions of histone signatures for the trophectoderm and inner cell mass in mouse parthenogenetic embryos.
Article in Stem cells and development, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Epigenetic asymmetry has been shown to be associated with the first lineage allocation event in preimplantation development, that is, the formation of the trophectoderm (TE) and inner cell mass (ICM) lineages in the blastocyst. Since parthenogenesis causes aberrant segregation between the TE and ICM lineages, we examined several development-associated histone modifications in parthenotes, including those involved in (i) transcriptional activation [acetylated histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9Ac) and lysine 14 (H3K14Ac), trimethylated histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4Me3), and dimethylated histone H3 arginine 26 (H3R26Me2)] and (ii) transcriptional repression [trimethylated histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9Me3) and lysine 27 (H3K27Me3), and mono-ubiquitinated histone H2A lysine 119 (H2AK119u1)]. Here, we report that in parthenotes, H3R26Me2 expression decreased from the morula stage, while expression patterns and levels of H3K9Ac, H3K27Me3, and H2AK119u1 were unchanged until the blastocyst stage; whereas H3K14Ac, H3K4Me3, and H3K9Me3 showed normal patterns and levels of expressions. Relative to the decrease of H3K9Ac in the ICM and increase in the TE of parthenotes, we detected reduced expression of TAT-interactive protein 60 acetyltransferase and histone deacetylase 1 deacetylase in the ICM and TE of parthenotes, respectively. Relative to the decrease of H3R26Me2, we also observed decreased expression of coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 methyltransferase and increased expression of the Wnt effector transcription factor 7L2 and miR-181c microRNA in parthenotes. Furthermore, relative to the decrease in H3K27Me3 and H2AK119u1, we found increased phosphorylation of Akt1 and enhancer of zeste homolog 2 in parthenogenetic TE. Therefore, our findings that histone signatures are impaired in parthenotes provide a mechanistic explanation for aberrant lineage segregation and TE defects.
