Chromatin remodeling restrains oncogenic functions in prostate cancer.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Primary prostate cancer presents with multifocal lesions and unpredictable clinical behavior, posing significant challenges for effective prognosis. To address this, we investigate the epigenomic landscape of prostate tumor biopsies from 25 treatment-naïve male patients by analyzing chromatin compartmentalization patterns. Our analysis reveals two distinct molecular subtypes: one with a Low Degree of Decompartmentalization (LDD) and another with a High Degree of Decompartmentalization (HDD). Here we show that the HDD subgroup exhibits extensive chromatin reorganization associated with diminished oncogenic potential. This subtype shows repression of molecular pathways involved in extracellular matrix remodeling and cellular plasticity. From this distinction, we derive an 18-gene transcriptional signature capable of differentiating HDD from LDD cases. Importantly, we validate the prognostic relevance of this signature in multiple independent cohorts totaling over 900 patients. Our findings suggest that epigenetic-derived signature at the time of diagnostic biopsy can offer a powerful tool for risk stratification in prostate cancer.
