Genome-wide screening for genes involved in the epigenetic basis of fragile X syndrome.
Article in Stem cell reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most prevalent heritable form of intellectual disability, is caused by the transcriptional silencing of the FMR1 gene. The epigenetic factors responsible for FMR1 inactivation are largely unknown. Here, we initially demonstrated the feasibility of FMR1 reactivation by targeting a single epigenetic factor, DNMT1. Next, we established a model system for FMR1 silencing using a construct containing the FXS-related mutation upstream to a reporter gene. This construct was methylated in vitro and introduced into a genome-wide loss-of-function (LOF) library established in haploid human pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), allowing the identification of genes whose functional loss reversed the methylation-induced silencing of the FMR1 reporter. Selected candidate genes were further analyzed in haploid- and FXS-patient-derived PSCs, highlighting the epigenetic and metabolic pathways involved in FMR1 regulation. Our work sheds light on the mechanisms responsible for CGG-expansion-mediated FMR1 inactivation and offers novel targets for therapeutic FMR1 reactivation.
