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

Histone acetyltransferases p300 (E1A-associated protein p300) and CBP (CREB binding protein), collectively known as p300/CBP due to shared sequence and functional synergy, catalyze histone H3K27 acetylation and consequently induce gene transcription. p300/CBP over-expression or over-activity activates the transcription of oncogenes, leading to cancer cell growth, resistance to apoptosis, tumor initiation and development. The discovery of small molecule inhibitors targeting p300/CBP histone acetyltransferase activity, bromodomains, dual inhibitors of p300/CBP and BRD4 bromodomains, as well as proteolysis-targeted-chimaera p300/CBP protein degraders, marks significant progress in cancer therapeutics. These inhibitors and degraders induce histone H3K27 deacetylation, reduce oncogene expression and cancer cell proliferation, promote cancer cell death, and decrease tumor progression in mice. Furthermore, p300/CBP inhibitors and protein degraders have been demonstrated to exert synergy when in combination with conventional radiotherapy, chemotherapy and BRD4 inhibitors in vitro as well as in mice. Importantly, two p300/CBP bromodomain inhibitors, CCS1477 and FT-7051, as well as the dual p300/CBP and BRD4 bromodomain inhibitor NEO2734 have entered Phase I and IIa clinical trials in patients with advanced and refractory hematological malignancies or solid tumors. Taken together, the identification of p300/CBP as critical drivers of tumorigenesis and the development of p300/CBP inhibitors and proteolysis-targeted-chimaera protein degraders represent promising avenues for clinical translation of novel cancer therapeutics.
