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

Cells and organisms are often exposed to various metabolic environments that require adaptive responses for survival. One common way cells adapt to fluctuating nutrient environments is through regulated transcription of metabolic genes. Intermediary metabolites, such as acetyl-CoA, produced by metabolic pathways, serve as cofactors for histone post-translational modifications, which in turn regulate gene expression. However, increasing evidence shows that non-acetyl acyl-CoAs, such as propionyl-CoA, participate in gene regulation during metabolic stress. In this report, we find that histone propionylation functions as a global response to glucose starvation. Furthermore, we find that Acetyl-CoA Synthetase 1 (Acs1) binds chromatin and is the primary enzyme responsible for generating propionyl-CoA in the nucleus. Together, our findings reveal that Acs1-mediated histone propionylation constitutes a novel pathway for metabolic adaptation, linking nutrient availability to chromatin modification.
