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

Lysine acetyltransferase 6 (KAT6) consists of KAT6A and its paralog KAT6B, which represent crucial regulators for epigenetic modifications. By acylating histone H3 and nonhistone proteins, KAT6 enzymes play predominant roles in transcription, cell cycle, diverse developmental processes, regulation of the immune system, and self-renewal and maintenance of hematopoietic and neural stem cells. Importantly, the frequent molecular dysregulation of KAT6A and KAT6B correlates with survival outcomes of cancers, contributing to the exploration of a wide array of small-molecule inhibitors against KAT6 catalytic activity. Recent progress in drug discovery has led to the development of dual KAT6A and KAT6B inhibitors with potent antitumor efficacy and selectivity in both preclinical and clinical settings, supporting KAT6 as a druggable, promising target for the treatment of cancers, particularly breast cancers. In this review, we summarize the currently available information regarding the physiological and pathological functions of KAT6A and KAT6B and discuss their potential as antitumor targets in drug development. We also present the discovery and development of an emerging class of KAT6 inhibitors under investigation for breast cancer, along with potential molecular mechanisms underlying the therapeutic efficacy of targeting KAT6, providing references for developing therapeutic strategies in clinical practice.
