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

DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification that needs to be carefully controlled as a prerequisite for normal early embryogenesis. Compelling evidence now suggests that four maternal-effect proteins, primordial germ cell 7 (PGC7), zinc finger protein 57 (ZFP57), tripartite motif-containing 28 (TRIM28) and DNA methyltransferase (cytosine-5) 1 (DNMT1) are involved in the maintenance of DNA methylation. However, it is still not fully understood how these maternal-effect proteins maintain the DNA methylation imprint. We noticed that a feature common to these proteins is the presence of significant levels of intrinsic disorder so in this study we started from an intrinsic disorder perspective to try to understand these maternal-effect proteins. To do this, we firstly analysed the intrinsic disorder predispositions of PGC7, ZFP57, TRIM28 and DNMT1 by using a set of currently available computational tools and secondly conducted an intensive literature search to collect information on their interacting partners and structural characterization. Finally, we discuss the potential effect of intrinsic disorder on the function of these proteins in maintaining DNA methylation.
