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

abstractLong-term maintenance of somatic stem cells relies on precise regulation of self-renewal and differentiation. Understanding the molecular framework for these homeostatic processes is essential for improved cellular therapies and treatment of myeloid neoplasms. CUX1 is a widely expressed, dosage-sensitive transcription factor crucial for development and frequently deleted in myeloid neoplasia in the context of -7/(del7q). Here, using novel mouse models and single-cell approaches, we report that dynamic and distinct CUX1 levels are integral to hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) activity. Knockdown of CUX1 reverses HSC differentiation and strikingly reendows progenitors with stem cell function, accompanied by restoration of the HSC transcriptome and DNA accessibility landscape. CUX1 mediates these activities, in part, via suppressing endogenous retroelements (EREs) and the ensuing interferon-stimulated gene expression program. Both EREs and the interferon response are upregulated in CUX1-deficient acute myeloid leukemia, suggesting a conserved role of CUX1 in regulating these elements. These data establish an unexpected entwinement between stem cell-intrinsic innate immune activation and the transcriptional programs of stem cell identity. Furthermore, we reveal the profound effects of transcription factor levels in cell fate.
