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

Polycomb group (PcG) and Trithorax group (TrxG) proteins are essential for maintaining epigenetic memory in both embryonic stem cells and differentiated cells. To date, how they are localized to hundreds of specific target genes within a vertebrate genome had remained elusive. Here, by focusing on short cis-acting DNA elements of single functions, we discovered three classes of response elements in human genome: Polycomb response elements (PREs), Trithorax response elements (TREs) and Polycomb/Trithorax response elements (P/TREs). In particular, the four PREs (PRE14, 29, 39 and 48) are the first set of, to our knowledge, bona fide vertebrate PREs ever discovered, while many previously reported Drosophila or vertebrate PREs are likely P/TREs. We further demonstrated that YY1 and CpG islands are specifically enriched in the four TREs (PRE30, 41, 44 and 55), but not in the PREs. The three classes of response elements as unraveled in this study should guide further global investigation and open new doors for a deeper understanding of PcG and TrxG mechanisms in vertebrates.
