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

Loss of c-JUN leads to early mouse embryonic death, possibly because of a failure to develop a normal cardiac system. How c-JUN regulates human cardiomyocyte cell fate remains unknown. Here, we used the in vitro differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into cardiomyocytes to study the role of c-JUN. Surprisingly, the knockout of c-JUN improved cardiomyocyte generation, as determined by the number of TNNT2+ cells. ATAC-seq data showed that the c-JUN defect led to increased chromatin accessibility on critical regulatory elements related to cardiomyocyte development. ChIP-seq data showed that the knockout c-JUN increased RBBP5 and SETD1B expression, leading to improved H3K4me3 deposition on key genes that regulate cardiogenesis. The c-JUN KO phenotype could be copied using the histone demethylase inhibitor CPI-455, which also up-regulated H3K4me3 levels and increased cardiomyocyte generation. Single-cell RNA-seq data defined three cell branches, and knockout c-JUN activated more regulons that are related to cardiogenesis. In summary, our data demonstrated that c-JUN could regulate cardiomyocyte cell fate by modulating H3K4me3 modification and chromatin accessibility and shed light on how c-JUN regulates heart development in humans.
