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

Polycomb group proteins maintain gene expression patterns established during early development, with Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) methyltransferase being a key regulator of cell differentiation, identity, and plasticity. Consequently, extensive somatic mutations in PRC2, including gain or loss of function (GOF or LOF), are observed in human cancers. The regulation of chromatin structure by PRC2 is critically dependent on its enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) subunit, which catalyzes the methylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27). Recent structural studies of PRC2 revealed extensive conformational changes in the noncatalytic EZH2 N-terminal SANT1-binding domain (SBD) during PRC2 activation, though the functional significance remains unclear. Here, we investigated how the SBD regulates PRC2 function. The domain is highly conserved in metazoans and dispensable for PRC2 assembly and chromatin localization yet is required for genome-wide histone H3K27 methylation. Furthermore, we show that an intact SBD is necessary for the proliferation of EZH2-addicted lymphomas, and its deletion in the presence of
