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

Introduction: The histone H4 hyperacetylation (i.e., acetylation of H4 at lysines -K5, -K8, -K12, and -K16, here reported as H4tetraAc) occurs in elongating spermatids (eSPTs) during spermiogenesis. Although it is critically involved in histone displacement, the mechanistic involvement of histone -acetyltransferases (HATs) and -deacetylases (HDACs) in the pathway underlying H4 hyperacetylation is poorly defined. Here, we investigate the involvement of SIRT1 deacetylase, and its functional interaction with the histone acetyltransferase MOF, in regulating H4 hyperacetylation underlying histone-to-protamine exchange. Methods: Exploiting the cannabinoid receptor 1 ( Results: We show that the hyperacetylation of histone H4 occurs progressively in steps 8-9 eSPTs and bursts in step 10 eSPTs, appearing inversely correlated to the expression pattern of SIRT1, being SIRT1 present in step 8, detectable in step 9 and absent in step 10 eSPTs. The abnormal SIRT1 retention in step 10 eSPTs of Cb1 Conclusion: These results underscore the key involvement of SIRT1-MOF axis in modulating H4K16 acetylation. Our findings provide mechanistic insights into H4K16 acetylation pathway in eSPTs and support the key role of H4K16ac in chromatin remodeling underlying histone displacement.
