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

Histone ubiquitination is a critical epigenetic mechanism regulating DNA-driven processes such as gene transcription and DNA damage repair. Importantly, the cellular machinery regulating histone ubiquitination is frequently altered in cancers. Moreover, aberrant histone ubiquitination can drive oncogenesis by altering the expression of tumor suppressors and oncogenes, misregulating cellular differentiation and promoting cancer cell proliferation. Thus, targeting aberrant histone ubiquitination may be a viable strategy to reprogram transcription in cancer cells, in order to halt cellular proliferation and induce cell death, which is the basis for the ongoing development of therapies targeting histone ubiquitination. In this review, we present the normal functions of histone H2A and H2B ubiquitination and describe the role aberrant histone ubiquitination has in oncogenesis. We also describe the key benefits and challenges associated with current histone ubiquitination targeting strategies. As these strategies are predicted to have off-target effects, we discuss additional efforts aimed at developing synthetic lethal strategies and epigenome editing tools, which may prove pivotal in achieving effective and selective therapies targeting histone ubiquitination, and ultimately improving the lives and outcomes of those living with cancer.
