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

In mammals, early embryonic development exhibits highly unusual spatial positioning of genomic regions at the nuclear lamina, but the mechanisms underpinning this atypical genome organization remain elusive. Here, we generated single-cell profiles of lamina-associated domains (LADs) coupled with transcriptomics, which revealed a striking overlap between preimplantation-specific LAD dissociation and noncanonical broad domains of H3K27me3. Loss of H3K27me3 resulted in a restoration of canonical LAD profiles, suggesting an antagonistic relationship between lamina association and H3K27me3. Tethering of H3K27me3 to the nuclear periphery showed that the resultant relocalization is partially dependent on the underlying DNA sequence. Collectively, our results suggest that the atypical organization of LADs in early developmental stages is the result of a tug-of-war between intrinsic affinity for the nuclear lamina and H3K27me3, constrained by the available space at the nuclear periphery. This study provides detailed insight into the molecular mechanisms regulating nuclear organization during early mammalian development.
