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 accounts for ∼9 million deaths per year worldwide, predominantly affecting adults. Adult malignancies are usually examined after extensive clonal evolution and carry many mutations, obscuring the individual contributions of these alterations to oncogenesis. By contrast, pediatric cancers often contain few mutations, many of which cause defects in chromatin-associated proteins. We explore here the roles that chromatin plays in oncogenesis. We highlight how the developmental regulation of cell proliferation genes and the degradation of chromosome ends are two major bottlenecks in the evolution of malignant cells, and point to a third bottleneck where epigenomic dysfunction triggers expression of tumor-suppressor genes, limiting the development of aggressive and metastatic features in tumors. We also identify opportunities for chromatin-based therapies.
