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

Methyltransferase-like protein 3 (METTL3) plays critical roles in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) progression, however, the mechanism of abnormal overexpression of METTL3 in AML remain elusive. In the current study, we uncovered that Yin Yang 1 (YY1) binds to the promoter region of METTL3 as a transcription factor and promotes its expression, which in turn enhances the proliferation of AML cells. Mechanistically, YY1 binds to HDAC1/3 and regulates METTL3 expression in a moderate liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) manner. After mutation of the HDAC-binding site of YY1 or HDAC inhibitor (HDACi) treatment, YY1 was separated from HDAC1/3, which resulted in an excessive LLPS state, thereby inhibiting the expression of METTL3 and the proliferation of AML cells. In conclusion, our study clarified the regulatory mechanism of the abnormal expression of METTL3 in AML, revealed the precise "Yin-Yang" regulatory mechanism of YY1 from the perspective of LLPS degree, and provided new ideas for the precise diagnosis and treatment of AML.
