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

Upon activation, lymphocytes exit quiescence and undergo substantial increases in cell size, accompanied by activation of energy-producing and anabolic pathways, widespread chromatin decompaction, and elevated transcriptional activity. These changes depend upon prior induction of the Myc transcription factor, but how Myc controls them remains unclear. We addressed this issue by profiling the response to LPS stimulation in wild-type and c-myc-deleted primary mouse B-cells. Myc is rapidly induced, becomes detectable on virtually all active promoters and enhancers, but has no direct impact on global transcriptional activity. Instead, Myc contributes to the swift up- and down-regulation of several hundred genes, including many known regulators of the aforementioned cellular processes. Myc-activated promoters are enriched for E-box consensus motifs, bind Myc at the highest levels, and show enhanced RNA Polymerase II recruitment, the opposite being true at down-regulated loci. Remarkably, the Myc-dependent signature identified in activated B-cells is also enriched in Myc-driven B-cell lymphomas: hence, besides modulation of new cancer-specific programs, the oncogenic action of Myc may largely rely on sustained deregulation of its normal physiological targets.
