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

Posttranslational modifications of histones in chromatin are emerging as an important mechanism in the regulation of gene expression. Changes in histone acetylation levels occur during many nuclear processes such as replication, transcriptional silencing, and activation. Histone acetylation levels represent the result of a dynamic equilibrium between competing histone deacetylase(s) and histone acetylase(s). We have used two new specific inhibitors of histone deacetylase, trichostatin A (TSA) and trapoxin (TPX), to probe the effect of histone hyperacetylation on gene expression. We confirm that both drugs block histone deacetylase activity and have no detectable effects on histone acetylation rates in human lymphoid cell lines. Treatment with either TSA or TPX results in the transcriptional activation of HIV-1 gene expression in latently infected cell lines. In contrast, TSA and TPX cause a rapid decrease in c-myc gene expression and no change in the expression of the gene for glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). Using differential display to compare the differences in gene expression between untreated cells and cells treated with TSA, we found that the expression of approximately 2% of cellular genes (8 genes out of approximately 340 examined) changes in response to TSA treatment. These results demonstrate that the transcriptional regulation of a restricted set of cellular genes is uniquely sensitive to the degree of histone acetylation in chromatin.
