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

objectivesThe present study aimed to reveal expression status of the neddylation enzymes in HNSCC and to elucidate the anticancer efficacy and the underlying mechanisms of inhibiting neddylation pathway. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe expression levels of neddylation enzymes were estimated by Western blotting in human HNSCC specimens and bioinformatics analysis of the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) database. Cell apoptosis was evaluated by Annexin V fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodide (Annexin V-FITC/PI) stain and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Small interfering RNA (siRNA) and the CRISPR-Cas9 system were used to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism of MLN4924-induced HNSCC apoptosis.

resultsExpression levels of NAE1 and UBC12 were prominently higher in HNSCC tissues than that in normal tissues. Inactivation of the neddylation pathway significantly inhibited malignant phenotypes of HNSCC cells. Mechanistic studies revealed that MLN4924 induced the accumulation of CRL ligase substrate c-Myc that transcriptionally activated pro-apoptotic protein Noxa, which triggered apoptosis in HNSCC.

conclusionsThese findings determined the over-expression levels of neddylation enzymes in HNSCC and revealed novel mechanisms underlying neddylation inhibition induced growth suppression in HNSCC cells, which provided preclinical evidence for further clinical evaluation of neddylation inhibitors (eg, MLN4924) for the treatment of HNSCC.
