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

Covalent modification of DNA and histones are important epigenetic events and the genome wide reshaping of epigenetic markers is common in cancer. The epigenetic markers are produced by enzymatic reactions and some of these reactions require the presence of metabolites as cofactors (termed Epigenetic Enzyme Required Metabolites, EERMs). Recent studies found that the abundance of these EERMs correlates with epigenetic enzyme activities. Also, the subcellular compartmentation, especially the nuclear localization of these EERMs may play a role in regulating the activities of epigenetic enzymes. Moreover, gene specific recruitment of enzymes which produce the EERMs in the proximity of the epigenetic modification events accompanying the gene expression regulation, were proposed. Therefore, it is of importance to summarize these findings of the EERMs in regulating the epigenetic modifications at both DNA and histone levels, and to understand how EERMs contribute to cancer development by addressing their global versus local distribution.
