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

Genes encoding proteins that regulate chromatin structure and DNA modifications [i.e., chromatin regulatory factors (CRF)] and genes encoding histone proteins harbor recurrent mutations in most human cancers. These mutations lead to modifications in tumor chromatin and DNA structure and an altered epigenetic state that contribute to tumorigenesis. Mutated CRFs have now been identified in most types of cancer and are increasingly regarded as novel therapeutic targets. In this review, we discuss DNA alterations in CRFs and how these influence tumor chromatin structure and function, which in turn leads to tumorigenesis. We also discuss the clinical implications and review concepts of targeted treatments for these mutations. Continued research on CRF mutations will be critical for our future understanding of cancer biology and the development and implementation of novel cancer therapies.
