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 lysine methyltransferase 2D (KMT2D/MLL4) critically modulates gene expression by methylating and acetylating histones H3K4/H3K27, thereby regulating the expression of specific target genes. Although KMT2D is highly mutated in a variety of cancers, its role in the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to reveal the significance of KMT2D expression in OSCC and to preliminarily explore the regulatory effect of KMT2D on the expression of OSCC-related genes by influencing histone modifications. In this study, through immunohistochemistry, gene editing, RNA-Seq, ATAC-seq, CHI-Seq and combined analysis, the following conclusions were drawn: KMT2D plays a role in histone modification, chromatin opening and gene transcription translation in oral squamous cell cancer cells. Integrated multi-omics data analysis indicated that KLF7 and TPO may be target genes regulated by KMT2D.
