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

backgroundUbiquitin-conjugating enzyme 2T (UBE2T) has been reported to be associated with uncontrolled cell growth and tumorigenesis in multiple cancer types. However, the understanding of its regulatory role in the carcinogenesis of Head And Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSC) is limited.

methodsUBE2T expression in HNSC patient samples and the correlation between its expression and patients' survival rates were evaluated using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Cell survival and proliferation were investigated in UM-SCC1 and UM-SCC15 cells infected with control and shUBE2T lentivirus. The xenograft mouse model was established using UM-SCC15 cells to examine HNSC tumorigenesis with or without UBE2T. Western blot, qRT-PCR, and ferroptosis assays were carried out to disclose the interaction between UBE2T and NF-κB signaling and ferroptosis.

resultsThe increased expression of UBE2T was noted in tumor tissues of patients with HNSC, correlating with a significantly reduced overall survival time in this patient cohort. Knockdown of UBE2T inhibited HNSC tumorigenesis and tumor growth. Mechanistically, inhibition of UBE2T suppressed NF-κB signaling and induced ferroptosis in HNSC.

conclusionOur study underscores the multifaceted role of UBE2T in HNSC, illuminating its potential as a biomarker and therapeutic target.
