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

Regeneration involves large-scale transcriptional reprogramming to drive cell identity transitions. These transcriptional changes are tightly coupled with chromatin remodeling, but the molecular mechanisms that coordinate these changes remain unclear. Here, we show that WOUND INDUCED DEDIFFERENTIATION 1 (WIND1) transcription factor promotes somatic embryogenesis by repressing pre-existing cell fate and activating new cell identity programs. WIND1 interacts with histone deacetylase HISTONE DEACETYLASE 9 and histone acetyltransferase complex component HOMOLOG OF YEAST ADA1 2a via a conserved N-terminal domain. These interactions enable WIND1 to mediate both H3K27 deacetylation and acetylation at distinct target loci, leading to repression of organ-primordium/procambium development genes such as AINTEGUMENTA and activation of embryogenesis regulators, including LEAFY COTYLEDON 2. Our study identifies WIND1 as a bifunctional chromatin regulator that integrates opposing histone acetylation dynamics to coordinate transcriptional reprogramming, providing a molecular framework for how a transcription factor directs complex cell fate transitions during regeneration.
