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

The apurinic endonuclease 1/redox factor-1 (APE1) has a crucial function in DNA repair and in redox signaling in mammals, and recent studies identify it as an excellent target for sensitizing tumor cells to chemotherapy. APE1 is an essential enzyme in the base excision repair pathway of DNA lesions caused by oxidation and alkylation. As importantly, APE1 also functions as a redox agent maintaining transcription factors involved in cancer promotion and progression in an active reduced state. Very recently, a new unsuspected function of APE1 in RNA metabolism was discovered, opening new perspectives for this multifunctional protein. These observations underline the necessity to understand the molecular mechanisms responsible for fine-tuning its different biological functions. This survey intends to give an overview of the multifunctional roles of APE1 and their regulation in the context of considering this protein a promising tool for anticancer therapy.
