Exploring ABOBEC3A and APOBEC3B substrate specificity and their role in HPV positive head and neck cancer.
Article in iScience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
APOBEC3 family members are cytidine deaminases catalyzing conversion of cytidine to uracil. Many studies have established a link between APOBEC3 expression and cancer development and progression, especially APOBEC3A (A3A) and APOBEC3B (A3B). Preclinical studies with human papillomavirus positive (HPV+) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and clinical trial specimens revealed induction of A3B, but not A3A expression after demethylation. We examined the kinetic features of the cytidine deaminase activity for full length A3B and found that longer substrates and a purine at -2 position favored by A3B, whereas A3A prefers shorter substrates and an adenine or thymine at -2 position. The importance and biological significance of A3B catalytic activity rather than A3A and a preference for purine at the -2 position was also established in HPV+ HNSCCs. Our study explored factors influencing formation of A3A and A3B-related cancer mutations that are essential for understanding APOBEC3-related carcinogenesis and facilitating drug discovery.
