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

Histone lysine demethylase 4A (KDM4A) plays crucial roles in regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, development and tumorigenesis, however its roles in fish are unclear. There are two copies of the kdm4a gene in zebrafish (Danio rerio), namely kdm4aa and kdm4ab. Our previous study showed that knockout of kdm4aa severely disturbs early embryonic development in zebrafish, here we investigated the underlying mechanism. Knockout of kdm4aa in zebrafish resulted in a clear developmental delay and embryonic lethality, accompanied by increased apoptosis. RT-qPCR and CUT&Tag-qPCR showed kdm4aa knockout downregulated Cytochrome P450 26a1 (cyp26a1), probably through elevated enrichment of H3K9me3 and reduced enrichment of H3K4me3 at promoter region of cyp26a1. Further experiments confirmed that cyp26a1 mRNA partially alleviates stress-induced apoptosis in both WT and kdm4aa knockout embryos, consistent with its known anti-apoptotic function. Our study helps understanding the key functions and mechanisms of kdm4aa in regulating early embryonic development in zebrafish.
