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

Loss-of-function mutations in MLL3, encoding the histone methyltransferase MLL3/KMT2C, are frequent in various cancer types. To examine the mechanisms whereby MLL3 suppresses tumorigenesis, we developed a mouse mammary-stem-cell-based tumor model bearing cancer-driver mutations, including loss of MLL3/KMT2C and p53 and constitutive phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) activation, recapitulating a genetic makeup of aggressive human breast cancers. MLL3 loss stabilized the transcription factor HIF1α, which increased secretion of the chemokine CCL2 by tumor cells and promoted recruitment of CCR2
