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

Enhancers are critical regulators of gene expression. Structural variations in cancer genomes can lead to enhancer hijacking, where oncogenes are activated by mistargeted enhancer activity. Novel enhancer-promoter interactions may also arise through chromosomal rearrangements that create extrachromosomal DNA elements. Additionally, fusion proteins and other mutation-induced alterations in protein properties can lead to the aberrant assembly of proteins into large complexes on the size scale of 0.1-1 μm termed onco-condensates. Transcription factors and co-activators accumulate with cis-regulatory elements in these structures, driving oncogenic programs. Here, we review current evidence of how altered genome architecture and macromolecular assembly result in deregulated enhancer-promoter communication. We discuss emerging strategies to exploit these mechanisms for clinical applications.
