Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) may affect DNA methyltransferase 1 through regulation of BRCA1 in ovarian cancer.
Article in American journal of cancer research, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a crucial molecule of energy production and signal transduction processes that have been linked to ovarian cancer development. Notably, emerging evidence has led to considerable interest in the role of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) in the initiation and progression of ovarian cancer. However, dynamic crosstalk between NAD and DNMT1 is poorly understood. Here, we show that DNMT1 levels are upregulated, along with increased NAD levels in non-BRCA1-mutated ovarian cancer cells. In contrast, DNMT1 levels are not affected by increasing NAD levels in BRCA1-mutated ovarian cancer cells. Mechanistically, BRCA1 inactivity-mediated loss of H3K9ac enrichment around the core promoter inhibits DNMT1 transcription. Consistent with this, BRCA1 levels correlate with DNMT1 levels (R = 0.534, R < 0.001) in human ovarian cancer specimens. Therefore, these results highlight a novel regulatory effect of NAD on DNMT1, and further correlate the physiological properties of NAD metabolism with DNMT1-mediated biological processes. All of this may improve our understanding of the basic molecular mechanism underlying NAD- and DNMT1-related ovarian cancer progression.
