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

Enhancers, as distal cis-regulatory elements in the genome, have a pivotal influence on orchestrating precise gene expression. Enhancer RNAs (eRNAs), transcribed from active enhancer regions, are increasingly recognized as key regulators of transcription. N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most plentiful internal modification in eukaryotic mRNAs, has garnered significant research interest in recent years. With advancements in high-throughput sequencing technologies, it has been established that m6A modifications are also present on eRNAs. An accumulative body of evidence demonstrates that aberrant enhancers, eRNAs, and m6A modifications are intimately connected with carcinoma onset, progression, invasion, metastasis, treatment response, drug resistance, and prognosis. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms governing m6A modification of eRNAs in cancer remain elusive. Here, we review and synthesize current understanding of the regulatory roles of enhancers, eRNAs, and m6A modifications in cancer. Furthermore, we investigate the possible roles of eRNAs m6A modification in tumorigenesis based on existing literature, offering novel perspectives and directions for future research on epigenetic regulatory mechanisms in cancer cells.
