Protein neddylation as a therapeutic target in pulmonary and extrapulmonary small cell carcinomas.
Article in Genes & development, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
Small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) is among the most lethal of all solid tumor malignancies. In an effort to identify novel therapeutic approaches for this recalcitrant cancer type, we applied genome-scale CRISPR/Cas9 inactivation screens to cell lines that we derived from a murine model of SCLC. SCLC cells were particularly sensitive to the deletion of NEDD8 and other neddylation pathway genes. Genetic suppression or pharmacological inhibition of this pathway using MLN4924 caused cell death not only in mouse SCLC cell lines but also in patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models of pulmonary and extrapulmonary small cell carcinoma treated ex vivo or in vivo. A subset of PDX models were exceptionally sensitive to neddylation inhibition. Neddylation inhibition suppressed expression of major regulators of neuroendocrine cell state such as INSM1 and ASCL1, which a subset of SCLC rely upon for cell proliferation and survival. To identify potential mechanisms of resistance to neddylation inhibition, we performed a genome-scale CRISPR/Cas9 suppressor screen. Deletion of components of the COP9 signalosome strongly mitigated the effects of neddylation inhibition in small cell carcinoma, including the ability of MLN4924 to suppress neuroendocrine transcriptional program expression. This work identifies neddylation as a regulator of neuroendocrine cell state and potential therapeutic target for small cell carcinomas.
