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

Many chromatin-modifying enzymes require metabolic cofactors to support their catalytic activities, providing a direct path for fluctuations in metabolite availability to regulate the epigenome. Over the past decade, our knowledge of this link has grown significantly. What began with studies showing that cofactor availability drives global abundances of chromatin modifications has transitioned to discoveries highlighting metabolic enzymes as loci-specific regulators of gene expression. Here, we cover our current understanding of mechanisms that facilitate the dynamic and complex relationship between metabolism and the epigenome, focusing on the roles of essential metabolic and chromatin associated enzymes. We discuss physiological conditions where availability of these epimetabolites is dynamically altered, highlighting known links to the epigenome and proposing other plausible connections.
