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

Protein deubiquitinases play critical pathophysiological roles in cancer. Among all deubiquitinases, an oncogenic function for OTUD7B has been established in genetic NSCLC murine models. However, few deubiquitinase inhibitors have been developed due to technical challenges. Here, we report a putative small molecule OTUD7B inhibitor obtained from an AI-aided screen of a 4 million compound library. We validated the effects of the OTUD7B inhibitor (7Bi) in reducing Akt-pS473 signals in multiple NSCLC and HEK293 cells by blocking OTUD7B-governed GβL deubiquitination in cells, as well as inhibiting OTUD7B-mediated cleavage of K11-linked di-ub in an in vitro enzyme assay. Furthermore, we report in leukemia cells, either genetic depletion or 7Bi-mediated pharmacological inhibition of OTUD7B reduces Akt-pS473 via inhibiting the OTUD7B/GβL signaling axis. Together, our study identifies the first putative OTUD7B inhibitor showing activities both in cells and in vitro, with promising applications as a therapeutic agent in treating cancer with OTUD7B overexpression.
