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

Tissue acidification is a common feature of hypoxia, inflammation and solid tumor. Acidic pH regulates innate immune response in macrophages by weakening BRD4-containing transcriptional condensates. Yet how disruption of transcriptional condensates leads to gene-specific regulation of immune programs remain unclear. Here, we integrated ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq, and RNA-seq of primary murine macrophages and performed integrative epigenomics analyses to identify transcriptional regulators (TRs) with pH-sensitive regulatory potential and association to BRD4-dependent transcriptional condensates. We determined pH-dependent super-enhancers (SEs) by extended profiles of BRD4 binding and h3K27ac marks. We found RELA, IRF family, and STAT family as candidate TRs enriched at BRD4-associated, pH-sensitive SE regions. RELA and IRF3 preferentially occupied BRD4-associated and pH-sensitive SEs, and displayed markedly reduced binding under acidic conditions, aligning with BRD4 occupancy change. Correspondingly, immune-response genes within BRD4-associated, pH-sensitive SE regions, including
