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

To understand the epigenomic foundation of naive pluripotency, we implement a quantitative multiplexed chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) method comparing mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) grown in 2i versus 2i/serum and serum conditions. MINUTE-ChIP has a large linear dynamic range for accurately quantifying relative differences in genome-wide histone modification patterns across multiple pooled samples. We find compelling evidence for a broad H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) hypermethylation of the genome, while bivalent promoters stably retain high H3K27me3 levels in 2i. We show that DNA hypomethylation, as observed in 2i, is a contributor to genome-wide gain of H3K27me3, while active demethylation by JMJD3/UTX counteracts further accumulation of H3K27me3. In parallel, we find hypomethylation of H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3), particularly at bivalent promoters, to be a characteristic of the 2i ground state. Serum stimulates H3K4me3 independent of GSK-3b and ERK signaling, suggesting that low H3K4me3 and high H3K27me3 levels at bivalent promoters are a product of two independent mechanisms that safeguard naive pluripotency.
