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

Approximately 70% of treatment failures in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients are attributed to distant metastasis, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. RNA 5-methylcytosine (m5C) is an emerging regulatory modification that controls gene expression and plays a critical role in tumor progression. However, there is little information on the potential roles of RNA m5C modification in NPC metastasis. In this study, we found that the m5C reader Aly/REF export factor (ALYREF) is significantly upregulated in NPC, whereby its high expression is associated with metastasis and poor prognosis. ALYREF overexpression was found to promote tumor metastasis of NPC cells in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, m5C-modified NOTCH1 mRNA was identified as a target of ALYREF. Moreover, ALYREF was found to upregulate NOTCH1 expression by enhancing its RNA stability in an m5C modification-dependent manner, thereby promoting the activation of the NOTCH signaling pathway and facilitating NPC metastasis. Overall, our data reveal the crucial role of ALYREF in NPC metastasis and provide a potential therapeutic target for NPC.
