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

Ubiquitination is cells' second most abundant posttranslational protein modification after phosphorylation. The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is critical in maintaining essential life processes such as cell cycle control, DNA damage repair, and apoptosis. Mutations in ubiquitination pathway genes are strongly linked to the development and spread of multiple cancers since several of the UPS family members possess oncogenic or tumor suppressor activities. This comprehensive review delves into understanding the ubiquitin code, shedding light on its role in cancer cell biology and immune evasion. Furthermore, we highlighted recent advances in the field for targeting the UPS pathway members for effective therapeutic intervention against human cancers. We also discussed the recent update on small-molecule inhibitors and PROTACs and their progress in preclinical and clinical trials.
