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

SUMOylation is a reversible post-translational modification (PTM) involving a covalent attachment of small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) proteins to substrate proteins. SUMO-specific proteases (SENPs) are cysteine proteases with isopeptidase activity facilitating the de-conjugation of SUMO proteins and thus participating in maintaining the balance between the pools of SUMOylated and unSUMOylated proteins and in SUMO recycling. Several studies have reported that SENPs' aberrant expression is associated with the development and progression of cancer. In this review, we will discuss the role of SENPs in the pathogenesis of cancer, focusing on DNA repair and the cell cycle-cellular pathways malfunctioning in most cancer cells. The plausible role of SENPs in carcinogenesis resulted in the design and development of their inhibitors, including synthetic protein-based, peptide-based, and small molecular weight inhibitors, as well as naturally occurring compounds. Computational methods including virtual screening have been implemented to identify a number of lead structures in recent years. Some inhibitors suppressed the proliferation of prostate cancer cells in vitro and in vivo, confirming that SENPs are suitable targets for anti-cancer treatment. Further advances in the development of SENP-oriented inhibitors are anticipated toward SENP isoform-specific molecules with therapeutic potential.
