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

A growing body of evidence confirms that non-mutational epigenetic reprogramming constitutes an important hallmark of cancer, contributing to the heterogeneity and phenotypic plasticity observed in cancers. Among the many epigenetic modulators, histone lysine demethylases (KDMs) have emerged as promising targets for pharmacological inhibition in cancer treatment. KDMs were found to be frequently overexpressed and/or hyperactivated in cancer cells, and their inhibition was shown to result in the inhibition of cancer cell growth both in vitro and in vivo. The inhibition of Lysine-specific histone demethylase 1A (LSD1), KDM3, KDM4, KDM5, and KDM6 may affect cell survival, proliferation, motility, and apoptosis induction. Importantly, KDM inhibitors can be used as modulators of anti-cancer immune response and sensitivity to radiation and chemotherapy. This narrative review aims to present the most recent evidence documenting the anti-cancer potential of KDM inhibitors.
