Systematic decoding of functional enhancer connectomes and risk variants in human glioma.
Article in Nature cell biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Genetic and epigenetic variations contribute to the progression of glioma, but the mechanisms underlying these effects, particularly for enhancer-associated genetic variations in non-coding regions, still remain unclear. Here we performed high-throughput CRISPR interference screening to identify pro-tumour enhancers in glioma cells. By integrating genome-wide H3K27ac HiChIP data, we identified the target genes of these pro-tumour enhancers and revealed the essential role of enhancer connectomes in promoting glioma progression. Through systematic analysis of enhancers carrying glioma risk-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), we found that these SNPs can promote glioma progression through the enhancer connectome. Using CRISPR-Cas9-mediated enhancer interference and SNP editing, we demonstrated that glioma-specific enhancer carrying the risk SNP rs2297440 regulates SOX18 expression by specifically recruiting transcription factor MEIS1 binding, thereby contributing to glioma progression. Our study sheds light on the molecular mechanisms underlying glioma susceptibility and provides potential therapeutic targets to treat glioma.
