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

Sepsis-induced myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) increase mortality risk. We previously identified that long non-coding RNA Hotairm1 supports myeloid precursor shifts to Gr1+CD11b+ MDSCs during mouse sepsis. A major unanswered question is what molecular processes control Hotairm1 expression. In this study, we found by a genetic deletion that a specific PU.1-binding site is indispensable in controlling Hotairm1 transcription. We then identified H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 at the PU.1 site on the Hotairm1 promoter. Controlling an epigenetic switch of Hotairm1 transcription by PU.1 was histone KDM6A demethylase for H3K27me3 that derepressed its transcription with possible contributions from Ezh2 methyltransferase for H3K27me3. KDM6A knockdown in MDSCs increased H3K27me3, decreased H3K4me3, and inhibited Hotairm1 transcription activation by PU.1. These results enlighten clinical translation research of PU.1 epigenetic regulation as a potential sepsis immune-checkpoint treatment site.
