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

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), a lethal pediatric cancer driven by H3K27M oncohistones, exhibits aberrant epigenetic regulation and stem-like cell states. Here, we uncover an axis involving H3.3K27M oncohistones, CREB5/ID1, which sustains the stem-like state of DIPG cells, promoting malignancy. We demonstrate that CREB5 mediates elevated ID1 levels in the H3.3K27M/ACVR1WT subtype, promoting tumor growth; while BMP signaling regulates this process in the H3.1K27M/ACVR1MUT subtype. Furthermore, we reveal that H3.3K27M directly enhances CREB5 expression by reshaping the H3K27me3 landscape at the CREB5 locus, particularly at super-enhancer regions. Additionally, we elucidate the collaboration between CREB5 and BRG1, the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex catalytic subunit, in driving oncogenic transcriptional changes in H3.3K27M DIPG. Intriguingly, disrupting CREB5 super-enhancers with ABBV-075 significantly reduces its expression and inhibits H3.3K27M DIPG tumor growth. Combined treatment with ABBV-075 and a BRG1 inhibitor presents a promising therapeutic strategy for clinical translation in H3.3K27M DIPG treatment.
