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

Following prolonged liver injury, a small fraction of hepatocytes undergoes reprogramming to become cholangiocytes or biliary epithelial cells (BECs). This physiological process involves chromatin and transcriptional remodeling, but the epigenetic mediators are largely unknown. Here, we exploited a lineage-traced model of liver injury to investigate the role of histone post-translational modification in biliary reprogramming. Using mass spectrometry, we defined the repertoire of histone marks that are globally altered in quantity during reprogramming. Next, applying an in vivo CRISPR screening approach, we identified seven histone-modifying enzymes that alter the efficiency of hepatobiliary reprogramming. Among these, the histone methyltransferase and demethylase
