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

The development of multicellular organisms is accompanied by reprogramming of the epigenome in specific cells, with the epigenome of most cell types becoming fixed after differentiation. Genome-wide reprogramming of DNA methylation occurs in primordial germ cells and in fertilized eggs during mammalian embryogenesis. The 5-methylcytosine (5mC) content of DNA thus undergoes a marked decrease in the paternal pronucleus of mammalian zygotes. This loss of DNA methylation has been thought to be mediated by an active demethylation mechanism independent of replication and to be required for development. TET3-mediated sequential oxidation of 5mC has recently been shown to contribute to the genome-wide loss of 5mC in the paternal pronucleus of mouse zygotes. We now show that TET3 localizes not only to the paternal pronucleus but also to the maternal pronucleus and oxidizes both paternal and maternal DNA in mouse zygotes, although these phenomena are less pronounced in the female pronucleus. Genetic ablation of TET3 in oocytes had no significant effect on oocyte development, maturation, or fertilization or on pregnancy, but it resulted in neonatal sublethality. Our results thus indicate that zygotic 5mC oxidation mediated by maternal TET3 is required for neonatal growth but is not essential for development.
