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

β-TrCP is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that plays important roles in multiple human cancers including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Analysis of ESCC patient samples reveal that only protein level but not transcript level of β-TrCP associated with patient prognosis, suggesting regulators of β-TrCP protein stability play an essential role in ESCC progression and may be novel targets to develop ESCC therapies. Although β-TrCP stability is known to be mediated by the ubiquitin-proteasome system, it is unclear which enzymes play a major role to determine β-TrCP stability in the context of ESCC. In this study, OTUD6B is identified as a potent deubiquitinase of β-TrCP that suppress ESCC progression through the OTUD6B-β-TrCP-SNAIL axis. Low OTUD6B expression is associated with a poor prognosis of ESCC patients. Importantly, all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is found to promote OTUD6B translation and thus suppress ESCC tumor growth and enhance the response of ESCC tumors to anti-PD-1 immunotherapies. These findings demonstrate that OTUD6B is a crucial deubiquitinase of β-TrCP in ESCC and suggest combination of ATRA and anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor may benefit a cohort of ESCC patients.
