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

The three-dimensional organization of chromatin in the nucleus is critical in regulating gene expression. There are two classes of large genomic regions demarcated by the repressive chromatin modification histone H3 lysine 9 dimethyl (H3K9me2) and enriched at the nuclear periphery: lamina-associated domains (LADs); and H3K9me2-only domains (KODs) which have minimal lamina contact and are highly enriched for transcriptional enhancers. LADs have been studied in multiple cell types. In contrast, KODs have been characterized only in pluripotent cells and it remains to be determined whether they are fixed or rearrange according to cell type. Analysis of KODs from various embryonic mouse tissues revealed that KODs adopt cell type-specific configurations that correlate with changes in lineage-specific enhancer activity. Within KODs, local cell type-specific depletion of H3K9me2 was enriched for H3K27ac peaks at active lineage-specific enhancers. KODs were also enriched across ultra-long regulatory regions suggesting a role for KODs in long-range gene regulation. These results suggest that KODs are cell-type specific and maintain cell type-specific enhancers in a repressed state to allow for tissue- and stage-specific gene activation.
