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

Mammalian oocytes carry specific nongenetic information, including DNA methylation to the next generation, which is important for development and disease. However, evaluation and manipulation of specific methylation for both functional analysis and therapeutic purposes remains challenging. Here, we demonstrate evaluation of specific methylation in single oocytes from its sibling first polar body (PB1) and manipulation of specific methylation in single oocytes by microinjection-mediated dCas9-based targeted methylation editing. We optimized a single-cell bisulfite sequencing approach with high efficiency and demonstrate that the PB1 carries similar methylation profiles at specific regions to its sibling oocyte. By bisulfite sequencing of a single PB1, the methylation information regarding agouti viable yellow (
