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

ASXL1 is a well-established driver of a wide range of cancers. Here, we identify a high level of genetic correlation between ASXL1 and the major transcriptional activator BRD4 in cancer cells and characterize the molecular mechanism underlying this correlation. Structural and biochemical data show the formation of a tight complex between the extraterminal domain of BRD4 and the BRD4-binding motif of ASXL1. ChIP-seq analysis of mutated ASXL1 that cannot bind BRD4 demonstrates that the recruitment of BRD4 to the ASXL1 genomic targets depends on this interaction. We find that the cancer-related truncated variants comprising residues 1-645 and 1-591 of ASXL1 (ASXL1
