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

Wnt/β-catenin signaling plays critical roles in embryonic development and disease. Here, we identify RNF220, a RING domain E3 ubiquitin ligase, as a new regulator of β-catenin. RNF220 physically interacts with β-catenin, but instead of promoting its ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, it stabilizes β-catenin and promotes canonical Wnt signaling. Our analysis showed that RNF220 interacts with USP7, a ubiquitin-specific peptidase, which is required for RNF220 to stabilize β-catenin. The RNF220/USP7 complex deubiquitinates β-catenin and enhances canonical Wnt signaling. Interestingly, the stability of RNF220 itself is negatively regulated by Gsk3β, which is a key component of the β-catenin destruction complex and is inhibited upon Wnt stimulation. Accordingly, the RNF220/USP7 complex works as a positive feedback regulator of β-catenin signaling. In colon cancer cells with stimulated Wnt signaling, knockdown of RNF220 or USP7 impairs Wnt signaling and expression of Wnt target genes, suggesting a potentially novel role of RNF220 in Wnt-related tumorigenesis.
