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

Bromodomain-containing protein 9 (BRD9) is a specific subunit of the non-canonical SWI/SNF (ncBAF) chromatin-remodeling complex, whose function in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that impaired BRD9 function reduces the self-renewal capacity of hESCs and alters their differentiation potential. Specifically, BRD9 depletion inhibits meso-endoderm differentiation while promoting neural ectoderm differentiation. Notably, supplementation of NODAL, TGF-β, Activin A or WNT3A rescues the differentiation defects caused by BRD9 loss. Mechanistically, BRD9 forms a complex with BRD4, SMAD2/3, β-CATENIN and P300, which regulates the expression of pluripotency genes and the activity of TGF-β/Nodal/Activin and Wnt signaling pathways. This is achieved by regulating the deposition of H3K27ac on associated genes, thus maintaining and directing hESC differentiation. BRD9-mediated regulation of the TGF-β/Activin/Nodal pathway is also demonstrated in the development of pancreatic and breast cancer cells. In summary, our study highlights the crucial role of BRD9 in the regulation of hESC self-renewal and differentiation, as well as its participation in the progression of pancreatic and breast cancers.
