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

TET enzymes (TET1-3) are dioxygenases that oxidize 5-methylcytosine (5mC) into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) and are involved in the DNA demethylation process. In line with the observed 5hmC abundance in the brain, Tet genes are highly transcribed, with Tet3 being the predominant member. We have previously shown that Tet3 conditional deletion in the brain of male mice was associated with anxiety-like behavior and impairment in hippocampal-dependent spatial orientation. In the current study, we addressed the role of Tet3 in female mice and its impact on behavior, using in vivo conditional and inducible deletion from post-mitotic neurons. Our results indicate that conditional and inducible deletion of Tet3 in female mice increases anxiety-like behavior and impairs both spatial orientation and short-term memory. At the molecular level, we identified upregulation of immediate-early genes, particularly Npas4, in both the dorsal and ventral hippocampus and in the prefrontal cortex. This study shows that deletion of Tet3 in female mice differentially affects behavioral dimensions as opposed to Tet3 deletion in males, highlighting the importance of studying both sexes in behavioral studies. Moreover, it contributes to expand the knowledge on the role of epigenetic regulators in brain function and behavioral outcome.
