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

APOBEC cytosine deaminases are prominent mutators in cancer, mediating mutations in over 50% of cancers. APOBEC mutagenesis has been linked to tumor heterogeneity, persistent cell evolution, and therapy responses. While emerging evidence supports the impact of APOBEC mutagenesis on cancer progression, the understanding of its contribution to cancer susceptibility and malignant transformation is limited. We examine the existing evidence for the role of APOBEC mutagenesis in carcinogenesis on the basis of the reported associations between germline polymorphisms in genes encoding APOBEC enzymes and cancer risk, insights into APOBEC activities from sequencing efforts of both malignant and non-malignant human tissues, and in vivo studies. We discuss key knowledge gaps and highlight possible ways to gain a deeper understanding of the contribution of APOBEC mutagenesis to cancer development.
