Histone succinylation directly inhibits Jumonji domain demethylases and stabilizes repressive chromatin states.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Herein we uncover a relationship between histone succinylation and Jumonji (JmjC) domain-containing histone demethylases. We used quantitative proteomics and peptide pull-down assays to identify JmjC demethylases as candidate interactors with succinylated histone peptides. Succinyl-lysine peptides bind and inhibit the catalytic activity of JmjC demethylases in a dose-dependent manner. This includes KDM4D and KDM6B, which are responsible for the removal of the silencing marks H3K9me2/3 and H3K27me2/3. Supraphysiological sodium succinate treatment of HepG2/C3A cells increased the relative abundance of histone succinylation, H3K9me2/3, and H3K27me2/3. CUT&Tag and ChIP-mass spectrometry revealed the co-occurrence of succinylation with these repressive methylation marks, in addition to reduced transcriptional output. This work establishes a novel mechanistic link between metabolite abundance and chromatin regulation and suggests a role for histone succinylation in the maintenance of heterochromatin.
