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

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is highly lethal due to its prevalent metastasis. Most SCLCs have inactivating mutations in TP53 and RB1. We find that loss of YAP expression is key for SCLC cells to acquire rapid ameboid migration and high metastatic potential. YAP functions through its target genes CCN1/CCN2 to inhibit SCLC ameboid migration. RB1 mutation contributes to YAP transcriptional silencing via E2F7, which recruits the RCOR co-repressor complex to YAP promoter. We discover that benzamide family HDAC inhibitors stimulate YAP expression by inhibiting the RCOR-HDAC complex, thereby suppressing SCLC metastasis and improving survival in a mouse model. Our study unveils the molecular and cellular basis underlying SCLC's high metastatic potential, the previously unrecognized role of YAP in suppressing ameboid migration and tumor metastasis, and the mechanism of YAP transcription regulation involving E2F7, RCOR, and Sin3 HDAC. This study reveals a therapeutic potential of benzamides for SCLC treatment.
