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

Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) has emerged as a pivotal contributor to cancer progression, facilitating oncogene amplification, dysregulated gene expression, and tumor heterogeneity. Despite its significance in cancer, the interplay between eccDNA and key epigenetic regulators such as EZH2 remains largely unexplored. In this study, we systematically investigate the correlation between Tazemetostat, a highly selective EZH2 inhibitor, and alterations in the eccDNA landscape and transcriptional programs in ovarian cancer. Through integrated profiling using Circle-seq and RNA sequencing, we demonstrate that EZH2 inhibition is associated with markedly reprogrammed eccDNA dynamics. Furthermore, multi-omics integration identified that 67 genes exhibited concordant changes in both eccDNA abundance and transcript expression. Subsequent analyses also pinpointed 11 genes as putative effectors of drug response. Notably, spatial single-cell transcriptomics identified SFRP1 as the most consistently reactivated tumor suppressor across eccDNA, bulk expression, and spatial datasets, based on predefined statistical and biological criteria, by Tazemetostat. Moreover,
