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

Core regulatory circuitry refers to the network of lineage-specific transcription factors regulating expression of both their own coding genes, and that of other transcription factors. Such autoregulatory feedback loops coordinate the transcriptome and epigenome during development and cell fate decisions. This circuitry is hijacked during oncogenesis resulting in cancer cell fate being maintained by lineage-specific transcription factors. Major advances in functional genomics and chemical biology are paving the way for a new generation of cancer therapeutics aimed at disrupting this circuitry through both direct and indirect means. Here we review these critical advances in mechanistic understanding of transcription factor addiction in cancer and how the advent of proteolysis targeting chimeras and CRISPR screen assays are leading the way for a new paradigm in targeted cancer treatments.
