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

backgroundNeural tube defects (NTDs) are severe congenital malformations. Diabetes during pregnancy is a risk factor for NTDs, but its mechanism remains elusive. Emerging evidence suggests that protein malonylation is involved in diabetes. Here, we report the correlation between histone lysine malonylation in diabetes-induced NTDs.

methodsNano-HPLC/MS/MS was used to screen the histone malonylation profile in human embryonic brain tissue. Then, the histone malonylation level was compared between the brains of normal control mice and mice with diabetes-induced NTDs. Finally, the histone malonylation level was compared under high glucose exposure in an E9 neuroepithelial cell line (NE4C).

resultsA total of 30 histone malonylation sites were identified in human embryonic brain tissue, including 18 novel sites. Furthermore, we found an increased histone malonylation level in brain tissues from mice with diabetes-induced NTDs. Finally, both the histone malonylation modified sites and the modified levels were proved to be increased in the NE4C treated with high glucose.

conclusionOur results present a comprehensive map of histone malonylation in the human fetal brain. Furthermore, we provide experimental evidence supporting a relationship between histone malonylation and NTDs caused by high glucose-induced diabetes. These findings offer new insights into the pathological role of histone modifications in human NTDs.
