Effects of histone H4 hyperacetylation on inhibiting MMP2 and MMP9 in human amniotic epithelial cells and in premature rupture of fetal membranes.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Histone modification is closely associated with several diseases. The aim of the current study was to investigate the associations among histone acetylation, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and premature rupture of membranes (PROM) during pregnancy. A total of 180 puerperants were divided into three groups: i) Preterm-PROM (PPROM), ii) term-PROM (TPROM) and iii) full-term labor (FTL). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits and western blotting were used to determine the protein concentrations of MMP2, MMP9, histone deacetylase (HDAC)1, HDAC2 and HDAC6, and the protein levels of histone H4 lysine (H4K)5 and H4K8 acetylation, respectively, in three types of fetal membranes. Additionally, human amniotic epithelial cells were used to determine the effects of the HDAC inhibitors droxinostat and chidamide on cell viability, histone acetylation and the levels of MMP2, MMP9, HDAC1, HDAC2 and HDAC6
