Transcription factors direct epigenetic reprogramming at specific loci in human cancers.

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.
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 characterization of epigenetic changes during cancer development and progression led to notable insights regarding the roles of cancer-specific epigenetic reprogramming. Recent studies showed that transcription factors (TFs) are capable to regulate epigenetic reprogramming at specific loci in different cancer types through their DNA-binding activities. However, the causal association of dynamic histone modification change mediated by TFs is still not well elucidated. Here we evaluated the impacts of 636 transcription factor binding activities on histone modification in 24 cancer types. We performed Instrumental Variables analysis by using genetic lesions of TFs as our instrumental proxies, which previously discovered to be associated with histone mark activities. As a result, we showed a total of 6 EpiTFs as strong directors of epigenetic reprogramming of histone modification in cancers, which alters the molecular and clinical phenotypes of cancer. Together our findings highlight a causal mechanism driven by the TFs and genome-wide histone modification, which is relevant to multiple status of oncogenesis.
