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

Douglas Hanahan added "non-mutational epigenetic reprogramming" and "unlocking phenotypic plasticity" as new hallmarks of cancer, proposing that cancer cells possess fundamental features that are not directly linked to their genetic abnormalities. In vivo reprogramming studies have demonstrated that non-mutational epigenetic regulation can cause cellular reprogramming, leading to cancer development at the organismal level. Given that epigenetic regulation functions as an interface between the cellular environment and gene expression, these results suggest that intercellular communications in the tumor microenvironment play a critical role in cancer development. This review first introduces genetic aberrations that cause cancer development. Then, it illustrates the impact of epigenetic abnormalities in cancer, especially with reference to studies that use in vivo reprogramming technologies. Finally, it discusses the importance of histological evaluations of tumor tissue to understand non-cell-autonomous epigenetic regulation that establishes cancer hallmarks.
