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

Ubiquitously transcribed tetratricopeptide repeat on chromosome X (UTX, encoded by KDM6A) is a histone demethylase that targets di- and tri-methylated histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27). UTX function has been linked to homeotic gene expression, embryonic development, and cellular reprogramming. UTX and its protein interactors within the COMPASS family, including the MLL3 and MLL4 lysine methyltransferases, are frequently mutated in multiple human cancers; however, the molecular basis of how these mutations contribute to oncogenesis remains unclear. Here, we discuss catalytic-dependent and -independent functions of UTX and its partners MLL3 and MLL4 as part of the COMPASS family during development and in oncogenesis.
