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

backgroundLysine demethylase 5 (KDM5) family proteins are transcriptional regulators best known for demethylating the promoter-proximal histone mark H3K4me3. KDM5-mediated regulation of gene expression is crucial in the brain, with pathogenic variants in human KDM5 genes leading to intellectual disability (ID) disorders. Although the demethylase activity of KDM5 proteins is vital for brain function, non-enzymatic functions also contribute. How KDM5 uses distinct features to regulate transcription in a context-dependent manner remains largely uncharacterized.

resultsUsing Drosophila, we demonstrate that a demethylase-dead Kdm5

conclusionsThese findings suggest that KDM5 operates in conjunction with local chromatin contexts to employ demethylase-dependent and independent mechanisms of gene expression regulation in the brain. Disruption to this regulation affects pathways critical for neuronal function and is likely to contribute to the cognitive and behavioral features seen in patients.
