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.

Abstract

The methylcytosine dioxygenase TET1 ('ten-eleven translocation 1') is an important regulator of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) in embryonic stem cells. The diminished expression of TET proteins and loss of 5hmC in many tumors suggests a critical role for the maintenance of this epigenetic modification. Here we found that deletion of Tet1 promoted the development of B cell lymphoma in mice. TET1 was required for maintenance of the normal abundance and distribution of 5hmC, which prevented hypermethylation of DNA, and for regulation of the B cell lineage and of genes encoding molecules involved in chromosome maintenance and DNA repair. Whole-exome sequencing of TET1-deficient tumors revealed mutations frequently found in non-Hodgkin B cell lymphoma (B-NHL), in which TET1 was hypermethylated and transcriptionally silenced. Our findings provide in vivo evidence of a function for TET1 as a tumor suppressor of hematopoietic malignancy.
