Targeting epigenetics using synthetic lethality in precision medicine.
Review in Cellular and molecular life sciences : CMLS, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
Technological breakthroughs in genomics have had a significant impact on clinical therapy for human diseases, allowing us to use patient genetic differences to guide medical care. The "synthetic lethal approach" leverages on cancer-specific genetic rewiring to deliver a therapeutic regimen that preferentially targets malignant cells while sparing normal cells. The utility of this system is evident in several recent studies, particularly in poor prognosis cancers with loss-of-function mutations that become "treatable" when two otherwise discrete and unrelated genes are targeted simultaneously. This review focuses on the chemotherapeutic targeting of epigenetic alterations in cancer cells and consolidates a network that outlines the interplay between epigenetic and genetic regulators in DNA damage repair. This network consists of numerous synergistically acting relationships that are druggable, even in recalcitrant triple-negative breast cancer. This collective knowledge points to the dawn of a new era of personalized medicine.
