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 neuronal transcriptomic landscape is emerging to be a key coordinator of mammalian neural regeneration. The roles of two histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27) demethylases, Kdm6a/b, in controlling neuroprotection and axon regeneration are investigated here. Deleting either Kdm6a or Kdm6b leads to enhanced sensory axon regeneration in the peripheral nervous system (PNS), whereas in the central nervous system (CNS), only deleting Kdm6a in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) significantly enhances optic nerve regeneration. Moreover, both Kdm6a and Kdm6b function to regulate RGC survival but with different mechanisms. Mechanistically, Kdm6a regulates RGC regeneration via distinct pathway from that of Pten, and co-deleting Kdm6a and Pten results in long distance optic nerve regeneration passing the optic chiasm. In addition, RNA-seq profiling reveals that Kdm6a deletion switches the RGC transcriptomics into a developmental-like state and suppresses several known repressors of neural regeneration. Klf4 is identified as a direct downstream target of Kdm6a-H3K27me3 signaling in both sensory neurons and RGCs to regulate axon regeneration. These findings not only reveal different roles of Kdm6a and Kdm6b in regulation of neural regeneration and their underlying mechanisms, but also identify Kdm6a-mediated histone demethylation signaling as a novel epigenetic target for supporting CNS neural regeneration.
