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

Characterizing drug-target engagement is essential to understand how small molecules influence cellular functions. Here we present Chem-map for in situ mapping of small molecules that interact with DNA or chromatin-associated proteins, utilizing small-molecule-directed transposase Tn5 tagmentation. We demonstrate Chem-map for three distinct drug-binding modalities as follows: molecules that target a chromatin protein, a DNA secondary structure or that intercalate in DNA. We map the BET bromodomain protein-binding inhibitor JQ1 and provide interaction maps for DNA G-quadruplex structure-binding molecules PDS and PhenDC3. Moreover, we determine the binding sites of the widely used anticancer drug doxorubicin in human leukemia cells; using the Chem-map of doxorubicin in cells exposed to the histone deacetylase inhibitor tucidinostat reveals the potential clinical advantages of this combination therapy. In situ mapping with Chem-map of small-molecule interactions with DNA and chromatin proteins provides insights that will enhance understanding of genome and chromatin function and therapeutic interventions.
