KAT5 regulates neurodevelopmental states associated with G0-like populations in glioblastoma.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Quiescence cancer stem-like cells may play key roles in promoting tumor cell heterogeneity and recurrence for many tumors, including glioblastoma (GBM). Here we show that the protein acetyltransferase KAT5 is a key regulator of transcriptional, epigenetic, and proliferative heterogeneity impacting transitions into G0-like states in GBM. KAT5 activity suppresses the emergence of quiescent subpopulations with neurodevelopmental progenitor characteristics, while promoting GBM stem-like cell (GSC) self-renewal through coordinately regulating E2F- and MYC- transcriptional networks with protein translation. KAT5 inactivation significantly decreases tumor progression and invasive behavior while increasing survival after standard of care. Further, increasing MYC expression in human neural stem cells stimulates KAT5 activity and protein translation, as well as confers sensitivity to homoharringtonine, to similar levels to those found in GSCs and high-grade gliomas. These results suggest that the dynamic behavior of KAT5 plays key roles in G0 ingress/egress, adoption of quasi-neurodevelopmental states, and aggressive tumor growth in gliomas.
