The nuclear periphery confers repression on H3K9me2-marked genes and transposons to shape cell fate.
Article in Nature cell biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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.
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
Heterochromatic loci marked by histone H3 lysine 9 dimethylation (H3K9me2) are enriched at the nuclear periphery in metazoans, but the effect of spatial position on heterochromatin function has not been defined. Here we remove three nuclear lamins and the lamin B receptor (LBR) in mouse embryonic stem cells and show that heterochromatin detaches from the nuclear periphery. Mutant mouse embryonic stem cells sustain naive pluripotency and maintain H3K9me2 across the genome but cannot repress H3K9me2-marked genes or transposons. Further, mutant cells fail to differentiate into epiblast-like cells, a transition that requires the expansion of H3K9me2 across the genome. Mutant epiblast-like cells can silence naive pluripotency genes and activate epiblast-stage genes. However, H3K9me2 cannot repress markers of alternative fates, including primitive endoderm. We conclude that the lamins and LBR control the spatial position, dynamic remodelling and repressive capacity of H3K9me2-marked heterochromatin to shape cell fate decisions.
