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

Epigenetic alterations are especially important in necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Here, we reported that histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) plays a previously unknown role in modulating arginine metabolism via acetylation of histone 3 lysine 9 (acetyl-H3K9) regulation during the pathogenesis of NEC. We found that HDAC8 was upregulated in humans and mice intestinal samples with NEC, while selective inhibition of HDAC8 expression ameliorated NEC. HDAC8 regulates enzymes involved in the metabolic conversion of proline to arginine (PRODH, PRODH2, OAT, and OTC) and arginine to ornithine (ARG1). The results showed that H3K9ac signal in the PRODH/PRODH2 promoter region was mediated by HDAC8. Additionally, the decreased concentration of butyric acid was strongly correlated with elevated HDAC8 levels and circulating arginine, which may result from an unbalanced Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio. These results reveal previously underappreciated roles of microbial metabolites and HDAC8 to coordinate the arginine metabolism during NEC development.
