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

backgroundTransposons are selfish genetic elements that self-reproduce in host DNA. They were active during evolutionary history and now occupy almost half of mammalian genomes. Close insertions of transposons reshaped structure and regulation of many genes considerably. Co-evolution of transposons and host DNA frequently results in the formation of new regulatory regions. Previously we published a concept that the proportion of functional features held by transposons positively correlates with the rate of regulatory evolution of the respective genes.

methodsWe ranked human genes and molecular pathways according to their regulatory evolution rates based on high throughput genome-wide data on five histone modifications (H3K4me3, H3K9ac, H3K27ac, H3K27me3, H3K9me3) linked with transposons for five human cell lines.

resultsBased on the total of approximately 1.5 million histone tags, we ranked regulatory evolution rates for 25075 human genes and 3121 molecular pathways and identified groups of molecular processes that showed signs of either fast or slow regulatory evolution. However, histone tags showed different regulatory patterns and formed two distinct clusters: promoter/active chromatin tags (H3K4me3, H3K9ac, H3K27ac) vs. heterochromatin tags (H3K27me3, H3K9me3).

conclusionIn humans, transposon-linked histone marks evolved in a coordinated way depending on their functional roles.
