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

Neutrophil differentiation is governed by a precise transcriptional and epigenetic program. Here, we identify the zinc finger protein 711 (Znf711) and its partner, the histone demethylase PHD finger protein 8 (Phf8), as essential regulators of terminal granulopoiesis. Contrary to their established role as a transcriptional activator-co-activator pair, we found that the Znf711- Phf8 complex operates through a repressive mechanism. Znf711 promotes neutrophil maturation in a DNA-binding-independent manner by sequestering Phf8. Upon loss of Znf711, Phf8 is recruited by the growth factor independent 1 transcription repressor (Gfi1aa) to the promoter of the master regulator c/ebpα, where SUMOylated Phf8 acts as a corepressor to inhibit its transcription. Furthermore, we delineate a positive feedback loop wherein C/ebpα directly activates znf711 expression, ensuring a high level of c/ebpα at the onset of differentiation. Our findings define the Znf711-Phf8 complex as a critical transcriptional rheostat in neutrophil development.
