Ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs) in leukemia: a systematic review.
Synthesis in BMC cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundLeukemia, a type of blood cell cancer, is categorized by the type of white blood cells affected (lymphocytes or myeloid cells) and disease progression (acute or chronic). In 2020, it ranked 15th among the most diagnosed cancers and 11th in cancer-related deaths globally, with 474,519 new cases and 311,594 deaths (GLOBOCAN2020). Research into leukemia's development mechanisms may lead to new treatments. Ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs), a family of deubiquitinating enzymes, play critical roles in various biological processes, with both tumor-suppressive and oncogenic functions, though a comprehensive understanding is still needed.
aimThis systematic review aimed to provide a comprehensive review of how Ubiquitin-specific proteases are involved in pathogenesis of different types of leukemia.
methodsWe systematically searched the MEDLINE (via PubMed), Scopus, and Web of Science databases according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines (PRISMA) to identify relevant studies focusing on the role of USPs in leukemia. Data from selected articles were extracted, synthesized, and organized to present a coherent overview of the subject matter.
resultsThe review highlights the crucial roles of USPs in chromosomal aberrations, cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, cell cycle regulation, DNA repair, and drug resistance. USP activity significantly impacts leukemia progression, inhibition, and chemotherapy sensitivity, suggesting personalized diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Ubiquitin-specific proteases also regulate gene expression, protein stability, complex formation, histone deubiquitination, and protein repositioning in specific leukemia cell types.
conclusionThe diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic implications associated with ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs) hold significant promise and the potential to transform leukemia management, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
