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

Changes in histone modifications always correlate with altered transcriptional activities of genes. Recent studies have shown that the mutation of certain lysine residues to methionine in the histone variant H3.3 can act as a valuable tool to reduce specific H3 methylation levels. In our study, we used the mouse spermatogenic cell line GC-2 as a model to generate cells stably expressing H3.3 K4, H3.3 K9, H3.3 K27, and H3.3 K36M. The expression of these H3.3 K-to-M mutants influenced the expression of different subsets of genes, and a total of 891 differentially expressed genes were identified through global gene expression profiling. Moreover, the H3.3 K-to-M transgenes, especially H3.3 K36M, impacted the expression of endogenous retrovirus ERVK. This study gives a global view of how different H3 modifications regulate transcriptomes in spermatogenic cell lines, and identifies potential targets of H3 modifications in male germ line.
