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

TIF1β/TRIM28/KAP1 has been recognized as a scaffold protein that partners with KRAB-ZFPs and heterochromatin complexes to enforce gene silencing. In embryonic and pluripotent stem cells, it maintains self-renewal by silencing endogenous retroelements through the establishment of heterochromatin. While these canonical functions have been extensively examined in embryonic stem (ES) cells, accumulating evidence also highlights its diverse contributions to cancer biology. We herein focused on the oncogenic role of TIF1β in leukemic progression, contrasting this with its physiological roles in hematopoietic stem cell maintenance, differentiation, and immune regulation, thereby providing a comparative perspective on H3K9 methyltransferase SETDB1-dependent and -independent mechanisms. TIF1β-mediated epigenetic plasticity was recently shown to establish a leukemic chromatin environment for promoting oncogenic transcriptional programs while repressing lineage-differentiation regulators, which drives leukemic progression in a context-dependent manner. This review summarizes the dual role of TIF1β as a chromatin modulator, functioning both as a canonical transcriptional co-repressor and as a context-dependent co-activator, and also discusses how these modalities cooperate to sustain leukemic stem cell programs.
