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

The ubiquitination and proteasome-mediated degradation of Hypoxia Inducible Factors (HIFs) is central to metazoan oxygen-sensing, but the involvement of deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) in HIF signalling is less clear. Here, using a bespoke DUBs sgRNA library we conduct CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis screens to determine how DUBs are involved in HIF signalling. Alongside defining DUBs involved in HIF activation or suppression, we identify USP43 as a DUB required for efficient activation of a HIF response. USP43 is hypoxia regulated and selectively associates with the HIF-1α isoform, and while USP43 does not alter HIF-1α stability, it facilitates HIF-1 nuclear accumulation and binding to its target genes. Mechanistically, USP43 associates with 14-3-3 proteins in a hypoxia and phosphorylation dependent manner to increase the nuclear pool of HIF-1. Together, our results highlight the multifunctionality of DUBs, illustrating that they can provide important signalling functions alongside their catalytic roles.
