Targeting the Epigenome in Colorectal Cancer.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Epigenetic alterations promote colorectal cancer (CRC) development, plasticity, and drug resistance. Agents have been developed to target epigenetic modifiers; however, they demonstrate limited clinical efficacy. This outcome is the result of the complex interplay within the epigenome, as well as that of the molecular circuits linking these epigenetic vulnerabilities with genetic mutations, oncogenic pathways, and activation of transcription factors. Therefore, current evidence suggests these agents should be assessed in combination with regimens including additional epigenetic drugs, immune checkpoint inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, and chemotherapeutic drugs. Herein, we highlight recent advances towards epigenome-centered treatment strategies in CRC. We also prioritize potential efforts of epigenetic-associated therapeutic modalities, which should be further developed following integration of respective biomarkers and as tools of therapeutic reprogramming in context-dependent cellular states.
