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 regulation of chromatin states is crucial for proper gene expression programs and progression during development, but precise mechanisms by which epigenetic factors influence differentiation remain poorly understood. Here we find that the histone variant H2A.Z accumulates at Sox motif-containing promoters during zebrafish gastrulation while neighboring genes become transcriptionally active. These changes coincide with reduced expression of anp32e, the H2A.Z histone removal chaperone, suggesting that loss of Anp32e may lead to increases in H2A.Z binding during differentiation. Remarkably, genetic removal of Anp32e in embryos leads to H2A.Z accumulation prior to gastrulation and developmental genes become precociously active. Accordingly, H2A.Z accumulation occurs most extensively at Sox motif-associated genes, including many which are normally activated following gastrulation. Altogether, our results provide compelling evidence for a mechanism in which Anp32e preferentially restricts H2A.Z accumulation at Sox motifs to regulate the initial phases of developmental differentiation in zebrafish.
