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

Previous studies have identified that lens epithelium-derived growth factor (LEDGF) interacts with SETD2-dependent histone H3 trimethylated at lysine 36 (H3K36me3) to mediate transcriptional elongation. However, the original LEDGF recognition H3K36me3 epigenetic regulatory axis no longer exists in SETD2 mutant clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) patients, and a new transcription system needs to be discovered. In this study, the authors demonstrated the novel interaction between LEDGF and H3R17me2a. In detail, Asn38 and Asp57 of LEDGF Proline-Tryptophan-Tryptophan-Proline (PWWP) domain are the key binding sites validated by peptide pull-down assays. Subsequently, a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that PPAT, PAICS, GART, ADSL, and ADSS2 are key target genes. Collectively, LEDGF binds H3R17me2a to regulate purine nucleotide metabolism in SETD2 mutant ccRCC cells, promoting tumor proliferation, and may be an effective therapeutic target.
