PHF8/KDM7B: A Versatile Histone Demethylase and Epigenetic Modifier in Nervous System Disease and Cancers.
Review in Epigenomes, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Many human diseases, such as malignant tumors and neurological diseases, have a complex pathophysiological etiology, often accompanied by aberrant epigenetic changes including various histone modifications. Plant homologous domain finger protein 8 (PHF8), also known as lysine-specific demethylase 7B (KDM7B), is a critical histone lysine demethylase (KDM) playing an important role in epigenetic modification. Characterized by the zinc finger plant homology domain (PHD) and the Jumonji C (JmjC) domain, PHF8 preferentially binds to H3K4me3 and erases repressive methyl marks, including H3K9me1/2, H3K27me1, and H4K20me1. PHF8 is indispensable for developmental processes and the loss of PHF8 enzyme activity is linked to neurodevelopmental disorders. Moreover, increasing evidence shows that PHF8 is highly expressed in multiple tumors as an oncogenic factor. These findings indicate that studying the role of PHF8 will facilitate the development of novel therapeutic agents by the manipulation of PHF8 demethylation activity. Herein, we summarize the current knowledge of PHF8 about its structure and demethylation activity and its involvement in development and human diseases, with an emphasis on nervous system disorders and cancer. This review will update our understanding of PHF8 and promote the clinical transformation of its predictive and therapeutic value.
