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

H3K9me3-dependent heterochromatin is critical for the silencing of repeat-rich pericentromeric regions and also has key roles in repressing lineage-inappropriate protein-coding genes in differentiation and development. Here, we investigate the molecular consequences of heterochromatin loss in cells deficient in both SUV39H1 and SUV39H2 (Suv39DKO), the major mammalian histone methyltransferase enzymes that catalyze heterochromatic H3K9me3 deposition. We reveal a paradoxical repression of protein-coding genes in Suv39DKO cells, with these differentially expressed genes principally in euchromatic (Tn5-accessible, H3K4me3- and H3K27ac-marked) rather than heterochromatic (H3K9me3-marked) or polycomb (H3K27me3-marked) regions. Examination of the three-dimensional (3D) nucleome reveals that transcriptomic dysregulation occurs in euchromatic regions close to the nuclear periphery in 3D space. Moreover, this transcriptomic dysregulation is highly correlated with altered 3D genome organization in Suv39DKO cells. Together, our results suggest that the nuclear lamina-tethering of Suv39-dependent H3K9me3 domains provides an essential scaffold to support euchromatic genome organization and the maintenance of gene transcription for healthy cellular function.
