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

objectiveTo determine if engineered high-mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2) overexpressing uterine primary myometrial cells recapitulate the transcriptional and epigenomic features of HMGA2-subtype leiomyomas.

designIsolated primary, "normal" myometrial cells from three patients were engineered to overexpress HMGA2 to determine how HMGA2 establishes transcriptomic and epigenomic features of HMGA2-overexpressing leiomyoma.

settingAcademic research laboratory. PATIENT(S): Primary myometrial cells were isolated from normal myometrium obtained from three patients undergoing hysterectomy. INTERVENTION(S): Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Determined genome-wide transcriptomic and epigenomic features of engineered HMGA2-overexpressing uterine primary myometrial cells. RESULT(S): Engineered HMGA2-V5-overexpressing primary myometrial cells approximated the HMGA2 expression level observed in HMGA2-overexpression subtype leiomyoma. High-mobility group AT-hook 2-V5 expression resulted in differential expression of 1,612 genes (false discovery rate [FDR] < 0.05) that were found to be enriched in pathways associated with leiomyoma formation, including extracellular matrix organization. Comparative gene expression analysis between HMGA2-V5 engineered primary cells and HMGA2-overexpression subtype leiomyoma revealed significant overlap of differentially expressed genes. Mechanistically, HMGA2-V5 overexpression resulted in 41,323 regions with differential H3K27ac deposition (FDR < 0.05) and 205,605 regions of altered chromatin accessibility (FDR < 0.05). Transcription factor binding site analysis implicated the AP-1 family of transcription factors. CONCLUSION(S): High-mobility group AT-hook 2 overexpression induces leiomyoma-like transcriptomic and epigenomic modulations in myometrial cells.
