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

Eleven-nineteen-leukemia (ENL) is a well-established epigenetic regulator essential for transcription in development and implicated in cancer. Here, we report the molecular mechanisms and functional consequences of the ENL association with components of transcriptional and chromatin remodeling complexes, TAF2, TAF6, and SNF5, and describe ENL intramolecular contacts and autoregulation. We show that the extra-terminal domain of ENL binds in an acetylation-independent manner to the hydrophobic motifs identified in intrinsically disordered regions of TAF2, TAF6, and SNF5. Genomic analysis reveals genome-wide co-occupancy of ENL and TAF2 or SNF5 on active promoters, and proteomic and transcriptomic analyses demonstrate increased tumor-associated correlations of ENL with TAF2, TAF6, and SNF5 and their coordinated co-expression patterns in several types of cancer. Our findings shed light on the mechanistic details by which ENL associates with chromatin cofactors and is autoregulated, paving the way for the development of novel ENL targeted antitumor interventions.
