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

Reversible acetylation of histone and non-histone proteins is one of the most abundant post-translational modifications in eukaryotic cells. Protein acetylation and deacetylation are achieved by the antagonistic actions of two families of enzymes, histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs). Aberrant protein acetylation, particularly on histones, has been related to cancer while abnormal expression of HDACs has been found in a broad range of cancer types. Therefore, HDACs have emerged as promising targets in cancer therapeutics, and the development of HDAC inhibitors (HDIs), a rapidly evolving area of clinical research. However, the contributions of specific HDACs to a given cancer type remain incompletely understood. The aim of this review is to summarize the current knowledge concerning the role of HDACs in cancer with special emphasis on what we have learned from the analysis of patient samples.
