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 lysine demethylase KDM2A (also known as JHDM1A or FBXL11) demethylates histone H3 at lysine K36 which lead to epigenetic regulation of cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. However, many biological processes are mediated by KDM2A independently by its histone demethylation activity. In the present study, we aimed to characterize the functional significance of KDM2A in multiple myeloma (MM) disease progression. Specifically, we defined that one of the key enzymes of glycolysis PFKFB3 (6-phosphofructo-2-kinase) is ubiquitylated by KDM2A which suppresses MM cell proliferation. Previous study showed that KDM2A and PFKFB3 promoted angiogenesis in various tumor cells. We further reveal that KDM2A targets PFKFB3 for ubiquitination and degradation to inhibit angiogenesis. Several angiogenic cytokines are also downregulated in MM. Clinically, MM patients with low KDM2A and high PFKFB3 levels have shown worse prognosis. These results reveal a novel function of KDM2A through ubiquitin ligase activity by targeting PFKFB3 to induce proliferation, glycolysis and angiogenesis in MM cells. The data provides a new potential mechanism and strategy for MM treatment.
