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

The YEATS domain is an evolutionarily conserved epigenetic reader that specifically recognizes post-translational lysine acylation on histone tails and plays a crucial role in chromatin remodeling and transcriptional regulation. Four human YEATS domain-containing proteins, ENL, AF9, YEATS2, and GAS41, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various malignancies. This review provides an overview of the structural basis for the YEATS domain's recognition of diverse acyllysine post-translational modifications and discusses the disease-related consequences of aberrant YEATS activity. Emphasis is placed on recent progress in the development of chemical modulators, including peptide-based inhibitors, small molecules, and proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs), that represent promising strategies for the selective targeting of YEATS domains. These developments underscore the potential of YEATS-directed therapies in epigenetic drug discovery.
