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

DNA methylation is a type of epigenetic modification that alters gene expression without changing the DNA sequence and mediates some cases of phenotypic plasticity. In this study, we identified six DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) genes and two methyl-CpG binding domain protein2 (MBD2) gene from Pinctada fucata martensii. We also analyzed the genome-wide DNA methylation levels of mantle edge (ME) and mantle central (MC) from P. f. martensii via methylated immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeDIP-Seq). Results revealed that both ME and MC had 122 million reads, and had 58,702 and 55,721 peaks, respectively. The obtained methylation patterns of gene elements and repeats showed that the methylation of the protein-coding genes, particularly intron and coding exons (CDSs), was more frequent than that of other genomic elements in the pearl oyster genome. We combined the methylation data with the RNA-seq data of the ME and MC of P. f. martensii and found that promoter, CDS, and intron methylation levels were positively correlated with gene expression levels except the highest gene expression level. We also identified 313 differential methylation genes (DMGs) and annotated 212 of them. These DMGs were significantly enriched in 30 pathways, such as amino acid and protein metabolism, energy metabolism, terpenoid synthesis, and immune-related pathways. This study comprehensively analyzed the methylomes of biomineralization-related tissues and helped enhance our understanding of the regulatory mechanism underlying shell formation.
