Molecular mechanisms of Guadecitabine induced FGFR4 down regulation in alveolar rhabdomyosarcomas.
Article in Neoplasia (New York, N.Y.), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) aberrant expression and activity have been linked to the pathogenesis of a variety of cancers including rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS). We found that treatment of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (aRMS) cells with Guadecitabine (SGI-110), a next-generation DNA methyltransferase inhibitor (DNMTi), resulted in a significant reduction of FGFR4 protein levels, 5 days post treatment. Chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) in aRMS cells revealed attenuation of the H3K4 mono-methylation across the FGFR4 super enhancer without changes in tri-methylation of either H3K4 or H3K27. These changes were associated with a significant reduction in FGFR4 transcript levels in treated cells. These decreases in H3K4me1 in the FGFR4 super enhancer were also associated with a 240-fold increase in KDM5B (JARID1B) mRNA levels. Immunoblot and immunofluorescent studies also revealed a significant increase in the KDM5B protein levels after treatment in these cells. KDM5B is the only member of KDM5 (JARID1) family of histone lysine demethylases that catalyzes demethylation of H3K4me1. These data together suggest a pleiotropic effect of DNMTi therapy in aRMS cells, converging to significantly lower FGFR4 protein levels in these cells.
