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 ability of cancer cells to undergo identity changes (i.e., lineage plasticity) plays a key role in tumor progression and response to therapy. Loss of the pulmonary lineage specifier NKX2-1 in KRAS-driven lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) enhances tumor progression and causes a FoxA1/2-dependent pulmonary-to-gastric lineage switch. However, the mechanisms by which FoxA1/2 activate a latent gastric identity in the lung remain largely unknown. Here, we show that FoxA1/2 reprogram the epigenetic landscape of gastric-specific genes after NKX2-1 loss in mouse models by facilitating ten-eleven translocation (TET)2/3 recruitment, DNA demethylation, histone 3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac) deposition, and three-dimensional (3D) chromatin interactions. FoxA1/2-mediated DNA methylation changes are highly conserved in human endodermal development and in progression of human lung and pancreatic neoplasia. Furthermore, oncogenic signaling is required for specific elements of FoxA1/2-dependent epigenetic reprogramming. This work demonstrates the role of FoxA1/2 in rewiring the DNA methylation and 3D chromatin landscape of NKX2-1-negative LUAD to drive cancer cell lineage switching.
