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

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL) gene rearrangement (MLLr) comprises a cellular hierarchy in which a subpopulation of cells serves as functional leukemia stem cells (LSCs). They are maintained by a unique gene expression program and chromatin states, which are thought to reflect the actions of enhancers. Here, we delineate the active enhancer landscape and observe pervasive enhancer malfunction in LSCs. Reconstruction of regulatory networks revealed a master set of hematopoietic transcription factors. We show that EP300 is an essential transcriptional coregulator for maintaining LSC oncogenic potential because it controls essential gene expression through modulation of H3K27 acetylation and assessments of transcription factor dependencies. Moreover, the EP300 inhibitor A-485 affects LSC growth by targeting enhancer activity via histone acetyltransferase domain inhibition. Together, these data implicate a perturbed MLLr-specific enhancer accessibility landscape, suggesting the possibility for disruption of the LSC enhancer regulatory axis as a promising therapeutic strategy in AML.
