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

Reversible protein ubiquitination is a crucial factor in cellular homeostasis, with Ubiquitin-Specific Protease 1 (USP1) serving as a key deubiquitinase involved in DNA damage response (DDR) and repair mechanisms in cancer. While ubiquitin ligases have been extensively studied, research on the reverse process of ubiquitination, particularly the mechanisms involving USP1, remains relatively limited. USP1 is overexpressed in various cancers, influencing tumor initiation and progression by regulating multiple associated proteins. Inhibiting USP1 effectively suppresses tumor proliferation and migration and may help overcome resistance to cisplatin and PARP inhibitors. As a potential synthetic lethal target, USP1 demonstrates significant research potential. This review highlights the biological mechanisms of USP1 in cancer progression, the signaling pathways it regulates, and the latest advancements in USP1 inhibitors, while also analyzing the opportunities and challenges of targeting USP1. By adopting the perspective of "the other side of the coin," this review aims to underscore the crucial yet often overlooked role of the deubiquitinase USP1, contrasting it with the extensively studied ubiquitin ligases, and emphasizing its therapeutic potential in cancer treatment.
