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
backgroundPolycystic liver diseases (PLDs) are genetic inherited disorders characterized by the progressive growth of numerous intrahepatic biliary cysts, which are the main cause of morbidity. Previous studies revealed that cystic cholangiocytes are characterized by endoplasmic reticulum stress and aberrant posttranslational modification (PTM) of proteins, in particular hyper-SUMOylation, that promote PLD pathobiology. Protein NEDDylation is a newly characterized PTM that modulates a plethora of biological processes and its dysregulation is associated with the development and progression of several human diseases. However, the role of NEDDylation in PLD remains elusive.
objectiveTo explore the role of protein NEDDylation in PLD and its potential therapeutic regulatory value.
methodsLevels and functional effects of NEDDylation, including response to Pevonedistat (first-in-class selective inhibitor of the NEDDylation E1 enzyme NAE), were assessed in vitro, in vivo, and/or in patients with PLD. NEDDylated protein levels in normal and cystic human cholangiocytes were assessed by immunoprecipitation, and the proteomic profile was further analyzed by mass spectrometry. RESULTS AND
conclusionThe genes involved in the NEDDylation pathway were found overexpressed (mRNA) in polycystic human and rat liver tissue, as well as in cystic cholangiocytes in culture, compared to controls. Elevated levels of NEDDylated proteins were further confirmed in cystic cholangiocytes in vitro, which diminished under Pevonedistat incubation. Pevonedistat promoted apoptotic cell death and reduced proliferation in cystic cholangiocytes in vitro. Comparative proteomic profiling of NEDD8-immunoprecipitated proteins between normal and cystic cholangiocytes in culture reported candidate proteins involved in cystogenesis, mostly associated with protein biogenesis and quality control. All these data indicate that cystic cholangiocytes display increased protein NEDDylation, contributing to cell survival and proliferation, ultimately supporting hepatic cystogenesis. Targeting of protein hyper-NEDDylation in cystic cholangiocytes inhibits cystogenesis in experimental models, representing a novel therapeutic opportunity in PLD.
