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

In eukaryotic cells, primases are the key polymerase during DNA replication and DNA damage repair, which included primase subunit 1 (PRIM1) and primase subunit 2 (PRIM2). Recent studies reported that the aberrant expression and activity of PRIM enzymes are closely associated with the carcinogenesis and development of various cancers. PRIM1 is overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer, and other cancers, while PRIM2 is highly expressed in lung cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, and other cancers. Further studies revealed that the knockdown of PRIM1 promoted the apoptosis of liver cancer cells, while Dihydroartemisinin (DHA) can inhibit PRIM2 expression, suppress lung cancer cell proliferation, and result in ferroptosis. The present review summarized the recent advancements in the research of the aberrant expression of PRIM1 and PRIM2 and their activity in DNA replication, DNA damage repair, and carcinogenesis. Furthermore, the strategies targeting PRIM1 or/and PRIM2 become potential therapeutic approaches in cancer treatment.
