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

Cancer can be identified as a chaotic cell state, which breaks the rules that govern growth and reproduction, with main characteristics such as uncontrolled division, invading other tissues, usurping resources, and eventually killing its host. It was once believed that cancer is caused by a progressive series of genetic aberrations, and certain mutations of genes, including oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, have been identified as the cause of cancer. However, piling evidence suggests that epigenetic modifications working in concert with genetic mechanisms to regulate transcriptional activity are dysregulated in many diseases, including cancer. Cancer epigenetics explain a wide range of heritable changes in gene expression, which do not come from any alteration in DNA sequences. Aberrant DNA methylation, histone modifications, and expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are key epigenetic mechanisms associated with tumor initiation, cancer progression, and metastasis. Within the past decade, cancer epigenetics have enabled us to develop novel biomarkers and therapeutic target for many types of cancers. In this review, we will summarize the major epigenetic changes involved in cancer biology along with clinical and preclinical results developed as novel cancer therapeutics.
