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

An integrated multi-target small molecule capable of altering dynamic epigenetic and transcription programs associated with the brain and nervous system has versatile applications in the regulation of therapeutic and cell-fate genes. Recently, we have been constructing targeted epigenetic ON switches by integrating sequence-specific DNA binding pyrrole-imidazole polyamides with a potent histone deacetylase inhibitor SAHA. Here, we identified a DNA-based epigenetic ON switch termed SAHA-L as the first-ever multi-target small molecule capable of inducing transcription programs associated with the human neural system and brain synapses networks in BJ human foreskin fibroblasts and 201B7-iPS cells. Ingenuity pathway analysis showed that SAHA-L activates the signaling of synaptic receptors like glutamate and γ-aminobutyric acid, which are key components of autism spectrum disorders. The long-term incubation of SAHA-L in 201B7-iPS cells induced morphology changes and promoted a neural progenitor state. Our finding suggests that the tunable SAHA-L could be advanced as a cell-type-independent multi-target small molecule for therapeutic and/or cell-fate gene modulation.
