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

Glufosinate-ammonium (GLA) is a widely used herbicide with emerging concern over its male reproductive toxicity. Abnormalities in sperm histone modification induced by GLA exposure observed in our previous study aroused our interest in whether such alterations could further affect embryonic gene expression. Here we administered adult male mice with 0.2 mg/kg⋅day of GLA for 5 weeks to collect their sperm or 4-cell embryos after copulation. Cleavage Under Targets and Tagmentation (CUT&Tag) sequencing showed alterations of sperm H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) and histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac), which are active histone modification marks involved in embryo development, while RNA sequencing identified differentially expressed genes in 4-cell embryos. Differentially H3K4me3 and H3K27ac occupied regions were mainly distributed at the gene promoters and putative enhancers, and were enriched in pathways related to the immune system and nervous system. Integrative analysis of these sequencing data showed that genes such as
