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 ten-eleven translocation (TET) family of dioxygenases maintain stable local DNA demethylation during cell division and lineage specification. As the major catalytic product of TET enzymes, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine is selectively enriched at specific genomic regions, such as enhancers, in a tissue-dependent manner. However, the mechanisms underlying this selectivity remain unresolved. Here we unveil a low-complexity insert domain within TET2 that facilitates its biomolecular condensation with epigenetic modulators, such as UTX and MLL4. This co-condensation fosters a permissive chromatin environment for precise DNA demethylation. Disrupting low-complexity insert-mediated condensation alters the genomic binding of TET2 to cause promiscuous DNA demethylation and genome reorganization. These changes influence the expression of key genes implicated in leukaemogenesis to curtail leukaemia cell proliferation. Collectively, this study establishes the pivotal role of TET2 condensation in orchestrating precise DNA demethylation and gene transcription to support tumour cell growth.
