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 memory allows different cells to maintain distinct gene expression patterns despite a common genetic code and plays a role in several biological processes. Chemical modifications to DNA and histones have appeared as critical mediators of epigenetic memory and much attention has gone into characterizing their dynamics. The network of positive feedback loops that these modifications form generates a rich set of dynamics that both recapitulate the traditional binary memory paradigm and also predict a new form of memory that we call analog memory. In this paper, we review models of chromatin modifications and describe how binary or analog memory hinge on the presence or lack of positive feedback loops between repressive histone modifications and DNA methylation. Future research using advanced genetic engineering tools will be able to validate the molecular interactions that dictate different forms of memory, and will thus deepen our understanding of how epigenetic memories form in different biological contexts.
