Super-enhancers for RUNX3 are required for cell proliferation in EBV-infected B cell lines.
Article in Gene, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigens 2 (EBNA2) mediated super-enhancers, defined by in silico data, localize near genes associated with B cell transcription factors including RUNX3. However, the biological function of super-enhancer for RUNX3 gene (seR3) remains unclear. Here, we show that two seR3s, tandemly-located at 59- and 70-kb upstream of RUNX3 transcription start site, named seR3 -59h and seR3 -70h, are required for RUNX3 expression and cell proliferation in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive malignant B cells. A BET bromodomain inhibitor, JQ1, potently suppressed EBV-positive B cell growth through the reduction of RUNX3 and MYC expression. Excision of either or both seR3s by employing CRISPR/Cas9 system resulted in the decrease in RUNX3 expression and the subsequent suppression of cell proliferation and colony forming capability. The expression of MYC was also reduced when seR3s were deleted, probably due to the loss of trans effect of seR3s on the super-enhancers for MYC. These findings suggest that seR3s play a pivotal role in expression and biological function of both RUNX3 and MYC. seR3s would serve as a potential therapeutic target in EBV-related widespread tumors.
