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

Ewing sarcomas (ES) are aggressive paediatric tumours of bone and soft tissues. Resistance to chemotherapy and high propensity to metastasize remain the main causes of treatment failure. Thus, identifying novel targets for alternative therapeutic approaches is urgently needed. DNA/RNA helicases are emerging as crucial regulators of many cellular processes often deregulated in cancer. Among them, DHX9 is up-regulated in ES and collaborates with EWS-FLI1 in ES transformation. We report that DHX9 silencing profoundly impacts on the oncogenic properties of ES cells. Transcriptome profiling combined to bioinformatic analyses disclosed a gene signature commonly regulated by DHX9 and the Lysine Demethylase KDM2B, with the Hippo pathway regulator YAP1 as a prominent target. Mechanistically, we found that DHX9 enhances H3K9 chromatin demethylation by KDM2B and favours RNA Polymerase II recruitment, thus promoting YAP1 expression. Conversely, EWS-FLI1 binding to the promoter represses YAP1 expression. These findings identify the DHX9/KDM2B complex as a new druggable target to counteract ES malignancy.
