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

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is important for organ development, metastasis, cancer stemness, and organ fibrosis. Molecular mechanisms to coordinately regulate hypoxia-induced EMT remain elusive. Here, we show that HIF-1α-induced histone deacetylase 3 (hdac3) is essential for hypoxia-induced EMT and metastatic phenotypes. Change of specific chromatin states is associated with hypoxia-induced EMT. Under hypoxia, HDAC3 interacts with hypoxia-induced WDR5, recruits the histone methyltransferase (HMT) complex to increase histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4)-specific HMT activity, and activates mesenchymal gene expression. HDAC3 also serves as an essential corepressor to repress epithelial gene expression. Knockdown of WDR5 abolishes mesenchymal gene activation but not epithelial gene repression during hypoxia. These results indicate that hypoxia induces different chromatin modifiers to coordinately regulate EMT through distinct mechanisms.
