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

The mammalian epigenome contains thousands of heterochromatin nanodomains (HNDs) marked by di- and trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 9 (H3K9me2/3), which have a typical size of 3-10 nucleosomes. However, what governs HND location and extension is only partly understood. Here, we address this issue by introducing the chromatin hierarchical lattice framework (ChromHL) that predicts chromatin state patterns with single-nucleotide resolution. ChromHL is applied to analyse four HND types in mouse embryonic stem cells that are defined by histone methylases SUV39H1/2 or GLP, transcription factor ADNP or chromatin remodeller ATRX. We find that HND patterns can be computed from PAX3/9, ADNP and LINE1 sequence motifs as nucleation sites and boundaries that are determined by DNA sequence (e.g. CTCF binding sites), cooperative interactions between nucleosomes as well as nucleosome-HP1 interactions. Thus, ChromHL rationalizes how patterns of H3K9me2/3 are established and changed via the activity of protein factors in processes like cell differentiation.
