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

Epigenetic modifications operate in concert to maintain cell identity, yet how these interconnected networks suppress alternative cell fates remains unknown. Here, we uncover a link between the removal of repressive histone H3K9 methylation and DNA methylation during the reprogramming of somatic cells to pluripotency. The H3K9me2 demethylase, Kdm3b, transcriptionally controls DNA hydroxymethylase Tet1 expression. Unexpectedly, in the absence of Kdm3b, loci that must be DNA demethylated are trapped in an intermediate hydroxymethylated (5hmC) state and do not resolve to unmethylated cytosine. Ectopic 5hmC trapping precludes the chromatin association of master pluripotency factor, POU5F1, and pluripotent gene activation. Increased Tet1 expression is important for the later intermediates of the reprogramming process. Taken together, coordinated removal of distinct chromatin modifications appears to be an important mechanism for altering cell identity.
