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

Transcriptional deregulation is one of the core tenets of cancer biology and is underpinned by alterations in both protein-coding genes and noncoding regulatory elements. Large regulatory elements, so-called super-enhancers (SEs), are central to the maintenance of cancer cell identity and promote oncogenic transcription to which cancer cells become highly addicted. Such dependence on SE-driven transcription for proliferation and survival offers an Achilles heel for the therapeutic targeting of cancer cells. Indeed, inhibition of the cellular machinery required for the assembly and maintenance of SEs dampens oncogenic transcription and inhibits tumor growth. In this article, we review the organization, function, and regulation of oncogenic SEs and their contribution to the cancer cell state.
