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

Development requires the expression of master regulatory genes necessary to specify a cell lineage. Equally significant is the stable and heritable silencing of master regulators that would specify alternative lineages. This regulated gene silencing is carried out by Polycomb group (PcG) proteins, which must be correctly recruited only to the subset of their target loci that requires lineage-specific silencing. A recent study by Erceg and colleagues (pp. 590-602) expands on a key aspect of that targeting: The same DNA elements that recruit PcG complexes to a repressed locus also encode transcriptional enhancers that function in different lineages where that locus must be expressed. Thus, PcG targeting elements overlap with enhancers.
