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

While the critical role of NKX2-1 and its transcriptional targets in lung morphogenesis and pulmonary epithelial cell differentiation is increasingly known, mechanisms by which chromatin accessibility alters the epigenetic landscape and how NKX2-1 interacts with other co-activators required for alveolar epithelial cell differentiation and function are not well understood. Combined deletion of the histone methyl transferases Prdm3 and Prdm16 in early lung endoderm causes perinatal lethality due to respiratory failure from loss of AT2 cells and the accumulation of partially differentiated AT1 cells. Combination of single-cell RNA-seq, bulk ATAC-seq, and CUT&RUN data demonstrate that PRDM3 and PRDM16 regulate chromatin accessibility at NKX2-1 transcriptional targets critical for perinatal AT2 cell differentiation and surfactant homeostasis. Lineage specific deletion of PRDM3/16 in AT2 cells leads to lineage infidelity, with PRDM3/16 null cells acquiring partial AT1 fate. Together, these data demonstrate that NKX2-1-dependent regulation of alveolar epithelial cell differentiation is mediated by epigenomic modulation via PRDM3/16.
