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

The transcription factor Bcl11b is critically required to support the development of diverse cell types, including T lymphocytes, type 2 innate lymphoid cells, neurons, craniofacial mesenchyme and keratinocytes. Although in T cell development its onset of expression is tightly linked to T-lymphoid lineage commitment, the Bcl11b protein in fact regulates substantially different sets of genes in different lymphocyte populations, playing strongly context-dependent roles. Somewhat unusually for lineage-defining transcription factors with site-specific DNA binding activity, much of the reported chromatin binding of Bcl11b appears to be indirect, or guided in large part by interactions with other transcription factors. We describe evidence suggesting that a further way in which Bcl11b exerts such distinct stage-dependent functions is by nucleating changes in regional suites of epigenetic modifications through recruitment of multiple families of chromatin-modifying enzyme complexes. Herein we explore what is - and what remains to be - understood of the roles of Bcl11b, its cofactors, and how it modifies the epigenetic state of the cell to enforce its diverse set of context-specific transcriptional and developmental programs.
