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 modifications govern chromatin dynamics and cell state. However, current methods cannot simultaneously resolve the presence of multiple DNA modifications at co-occurring chromatin-associated features. It is thus not clear how these features are physically coupled and how their combinations regulate genome function. To address this key question, we report 6-base-CUT&Tag, a method for simultaneous 6-base DNA sequencing at target chromatin features. Using 6-base-CUT&Tag to profile 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) at co-occurring histone modifications in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), we identify feature-dependent 5mC/5hmC signatures previously unresolvable with untargeted or bisulfite-based workflows. We show that DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation are specifically coupled with the H3K4me1 mark in mESC enhancers and that H3K4me1-derived signatures robustly distinguish different enhancer functional states.
