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

Epigenetic alterations, a well-recognized cancer hallmark, are driven by chromatin regulators (CRs). However, little is known about the extent of CR deregulation in cancer, and less is known about their common and specialized roles across various cancers. Here, we performed genome-wide analyses and constructed molecular signatures and network profiles of functional CRs in over 10 000 tumors across 33 cancer types. By integration of DNA mutation, genome-wide methylation, transcriptional/post-transcriptional regulation, and protein interaction networks with clinical outcomes, we identified CRs associated with cancer subtypes and clinical prognosis as potential oncogenic drivers. Comparative network analysis revealed principles of CR regulatory specificity and functionality. In addition, we identified common and specific CRs by assessing their prevalence across cancer types. Common CRs tend to be histone modifiers and chromatin remodelers with fundamental roles, whereas specialized CRs are involved in context-dependent functions. Finally, we have made a user-friendly web interface-FACER (Functional Atlas of Chromatin Epigenetic Regulators) available for exploring clinically relevant CRs for the development of CR biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Our integrative analysis reveals specific determinants of CRs across cancer types and presents a resource for investigating disease-associated CRs.
