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

Multiple RNA processing events including transcription, mRNA splicing, and export are delicately coordinated by the TREX complex. As one of the essential subunits, DDX39B couples the splicing and export machineries by recruiting ALYREF onto mRNA. In this study, we further explore the functions of DDX39B in handling damaged DNA, and unexpectedly find that DDX39B facilitates DNA repair by homologous recombination through upregulating BRCA1. Specifically, DDX39B binds to and stabilizes BRCA1 mRNA. DDX39B ensures ssDNA formation and RAD51 accumulation at DSB sites by maintaining BRCA1 levels. Without DDX39B being present, ovarian cancer cells exhibit hypersensitivity to DNA-damaging chemotherapeutic agents like platinum or PARPi. Moreover, DDX39B-deficient mice show embryonic lethality or developmental retardation, highly reminiscent of those lacking BRCA1. High DDX39B expression is correlated with worse survival in ovarian cancer patients. Thus, DDX39B suppression represents a rational approach for enhancing the efficacy of chemotherapy in BRCA1-proficient ovarian cancers.
