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

Myc is a transcription factor that significantly contributes to cancer progression by modulating the expression of important genes through binding to a DNA sequence, CACGTG, called E-box. We find that on Myc binding to chromatin, the lysine-demethylating enzyme, LSD1, triggers a transient demethylation of lysine 4 in the histone H3. In addition, we demonstrate that Myc binds and recruits LSD1 to the E-box chromatin and the formation of this complex is stimulated by cAMP-PKA. Demethylation by LSD1 produces H(2)O(2), which locally oxidizes guanine and induces the recruitment of 8-oxoguanine-DNA glycosylase (OGG1) and of the nuclease Ape1 on the E-box chromatin. Inhibition of oxidation or silencing of LSD1, OGG1 or Ape1 significantly reduce transcription and inhibit mRNA accumulation of Myc-target genes. Collectively, these data highlight the role of transient LSD1-mediated demethylation of H3K4 leading to local DNA oxidation as driving force in the assembly of the Myc-induced transcription initiation complex.
