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

Background: Mutational analysis of histones provides an important means of studying the function of histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) in epigenetic gene regulation. However, several technical challenges have impeded direct tests of histone residue function in metazoans, including the massive abundance of histone gene products, multiple copies of histone genes in the genome, and the necessity of histones for cell viability. Results: Here, we describe a new experimental approach in Conclusions: We conclude that shRNA-mediated depletion of endogenous histone H3.2, coupled with histone replacement transgenes engineered to be insensitive to RNAi, is an effective experimental approach for studying the role of histone PTMs in animal development.
