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

BRCA1-Associated Protein 1 (BAP1) is a ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase that has been established as a tumor suppressor, utilizing its deubiquitinating activity to regulate a number of processes including DNA damage repair, cell cycle control, chromatin modification, programmed cell death, and the immune response. Mutations in the BAP1 gene commonly result in a number of aggressive cancers; predominantly uveal melanoma, malignant mesothelioma, renal cell carcinoma, and cutaneous melanoma. Importantly, germline mutations in the BAP1 gene have been established as a novel tumor predisposition syndrome, conferring an increased risk of hereditary, early-onset cancers. Current treatment options for cancers with BAP1 alterations are limited to standard therapies. However, several therapeutic avenues have been proposed to specifically target BAP1 alterations in cancer. Molecularly targeted approaches include histone deacetylase inhibitors and EZH2 inhibitors to target the role of BAP1 in chromatin modification and transcriptional regulation, respectively. PARP inhibitors and platinum chemotherapy agents have the potential to target BAP1-altered tumors, due to the role of BAP1 in DNA damage repair. Lastly, emerging reports suggest that BAP1 alterations in cancer confer distinct immunogenic phenotypes that may be particularly susceptible to novel cancer immunotherapies. This review aims to present a concise and up to date report on the BAP1 gene in cancer, surveying its functional roles, characteristics and clinical manifestations. Furthermore, we highlight the established and emerging therapeutic options for BAP1-mutated cancers.
