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 major enhancer regulator lysine-specific histone demethylase 1A (LSD1) is required for mammalian embryogenesis and is implicated in human congenital diseases and multiple types of cancer; however, the underlying mechanisms remain enigmatic. Here, we dissect the role of LSD1 and its demethylase activity in gene regulation and cell fate transition. Surprisingly, the catalytic inactivation of LSD1 has a mild impact on gene expression and cellular differentiation whereas the loss of LSD1 protein de-represses enhancers globally and impairs cell fate transition. LSD1 deletion increases H3K27ac levels and P300 occupancy at LSD1-targeted enhancers. The gain of H3K27ac catalyzed by P300/CBP, not the loss of CoREST complex components from chromatin, contributes to the transcription de-repression of LSD1 targets and differentiation defects caused by LSD1 loss. Together, our study demonstrates a demethylase-independent role of LSD1 in regulating enhancers and cell fate transition, providing insight into treating diseases driven by LSD1 mutations and misregulation.
