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

Absorptive and secretory cells of the small intestine are derived from a single population of Lgr5-expressing stem cells. While key genetic pathways required for differentiation into specific lineages have been defined, epigenetic programs contributing to this process remain poorly characterized. Members of the BET family of chromatin adaptors contain tandem bromodomains that mediate binding to acetylated lysines on target proteins to regulate gene expression. In this study, we demonstrate that mice treated with a small molecule inhibitor of BET bromodomains, CPI203, exhibit greater than 90% decrease in tuft and enteroendocrine cells in both crypts and villi of the small intestine, with no changes observed in goblet or Paneth cells. BET bromodomain inhibition did not alter the abundance of Lgr5-expressing stem cells in crypts, but rather exerted its effects on intermediate progenitors, in part through regulation of Ngn3 expression. When BET bromodomain inhibition was combined with the chemotherapeutic gemcitabine, pervasive apoptosis was observed in intestinal crypts, revealing an important role for BET bromodomain activity in intestinal homeostasis. Pharmacological targeting of BET bromodomains defines a novel pathway required for tuft and enteroendocrine differentiation and provides an important tool to further dissect the progression from stem cell to terminally differentiated secretory cell.
