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

Post-translational modifications of histone proteins greatly impact gene expression and cell fate decisions in eukaryotes. To study these, it is important to develop a convenient, multiplex, and efficient method to precisely introduce mutations to histones. Because eukaryotic cells usually contain multiple copies of histone genes, it is a challenge to mutate all histones at the same time by the traditional homologous recombination method. Here, we developed a CRISPR-Cas9 based shuffle system in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, to generate point mutations on both endogenous histone H3 and H4 genes in a rapid, seamless and multiplex fashion. Using this method, we generated yeast strains containing histone triple H3-K4R-K36R-K79R mutants and histone combinatorial H3-K56Q-H4-K59A double mutants with high efficiencies (70-80%). This CRISPR-Cas9 based mutagenesis system could be an invaluable tool to the epigenetics field.
