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

Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) is a critical developmental milestone characterized by the rapid and simultaneous activation of genome-widely silenced chromatin. Various active histone modifications accumulate upon ZGA and have long been implicated in ZGA. However, their biological relevance still remains unclear. Here, we comprehensively examined the functional significance of active histone modifications and their writers during ZGA in teleost embryos. Our data propose that developmental genes and housekeeping genes are distinctively regulated during ZGA; CBP/P300 activity is required for developmental gene activation, whereas housekeeping genes depend on non-CBP/P300 histone acetylations H3K9ac/H4K16ac/H3K14ac. Moreover, accumulation of H3K4me2/3 is not prerequisite for activation of all types of genes during ZGA, in contrast to previous reports with cell lines. Finally, temporal accumulation of H3.3S31ph greatly enhances CBP/P300 activity specifically at ZGA, ensuring the activation of developmental genes. Our data demonstrate that multiple histone modifications cooperatively shape ZGA-specific gene activation programs in non-mammalian vertebrates.
