Understanding the role of BRD8 in human carcinogenesis.
Review in Cancer science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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 bromodomain is a conserved protein-protein interaction module that functions exclusively to recognize acetylated lysine residues on histones and other proteins. It is noteworthy that bromodomain-containing proteins are involved in transcriptional modulation by recruiting various transcription factors and/or protein complexes such as ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers and acetyltransferases. Bromodomain-containing protein 8 (BRD8), a molecule initially recognized as skeletal muscle abundant protein and thyroid hormone receptor coactivating protein of 120 kDa (TrCP120), was shown to be a subunit of the NuA4/TIP60-histone acetyltransferase complex. BRD8 has been reported to be upregulated in a subset of cancers and implicated in the regulation of cell proliferation as well as in the response to cytotoxic agents. However, little is still known about the underlying molecular mechanisms. In recent years, it has become increasingly clear that the bromodomain of BRD8 recognizes acetylated and/or nonacetylated histones H4 and H2AZ, and that BRD8 is associated with cancer development in both a NuA4/TIP60 complex-dependent and -independent manner. In this review, we will provide an overview of the current knowledge on the molecular function of BRD8, focusing on the biological role of the bromodomain of BRD8 in cancer cells.
