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

Ribosomopathies are diseases caused by defects in ribosomal constituents or in factors with a role in ribosome assembly. Intriguingly, congenital ribosomopathies display a paradoxical transition from early symptoms due to cellular hypo-proliferation to an elevated cancer risk later in life. Another association between ribosome defects and cancer came into view after the recent discovery of somatic mutations in ribosomal proteins and rDNA copy number changes in a variety of tumor types, giving rise to somatic ribosomopathies. Despite these clear connections between ribosome defects and cancer, the molecular mechanisms by which defects in this essential cellular machinery are oncogenic only start to emerge. In this review, the impact of ribosomal defects on the cellular function and their mechanisms of promoting oncogenesis are described. In particular, we discuss the emerging hallmarks of ribosomopathies such as the appearance of 'onco-ribosomes' that are specialized in translating oncoproteins, dysregulation of translation-independent extra-ribosomal functions of ribosomal proteins, rewired cellular protein and energy metabolism, and extensive oxidative stress leading to DNA damage. We end by integrating these findings in a model that can provide an explanation how ribosomopathies could lead to the transition from hypo- to hyper-proliferation in bone marrow failure syndromes with elevated cancer risk.
