Up-Regulation of Non-Homologous End-Joining by MUC1.
Article in Genes, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Ionizing radiation (IR) and chemotherapy with DNA-damaging drugs such as cisplatin are vital cancer treatment options. These treatments induce double-strand breaks (DSBs) as cytotoxic DNA damage; thus, the DSB repair activity in each cancer cell significantly influences the efficacy of the treatments. Pancreatic cancers are known to be resistant to these treatments, and the overexpression of MUC1, a member of the glycoprotein mucins, is associated with IR- and chemo-resistance. Therefore, we investigated the impact of MUC1 on DSB repair. This report examined the effect of the overexpression of MUC1 on homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) using cell-based DSB repair assays. In addition, the therapeutic potential of NHEJ inhibitors including HDAC inhibitors was also studied using pancreatic cancer cell lines. The MUC1-overexpression enhances NHEJ, while partially suppressing HR. Also, MUC1-overexpressed cancer cell lines are preferentially killed by a DNA-PK inhibitor and HDAC1/2 inhibitors. Altogether, MUC1 induces metabolic changes that create an imbalance between NHEJ and HR activities, and this imbalance can be a target for selective killing by HDAC inhibitors. This is a novel mechanism of MUC1-mediated IR-resistance and will form the basis for targeting MUC1-overexpressed pancreatic cancer.
