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 immunoproteasome (iCP) is an isoform of the 20S proteasome that is expressed in response to cellular stress or inflammatory stimuli. The primary role of the iCP is to hydrolyze proteins into peptides that can be loaded into the MHC-I complex. Beyond its primary role in the adaptive immune response, it is also involved in the pathogenic mechanism of numerous disease states such as inflammatory conditions and cancer. In the last decade, a huge number of immunoproteasome-specific inhibitors have been described, allowing researchers to elucidate the role of the immunoproteasome as a potential therapeutic target for these diseases. The present manuscript summarizes the latest advances regarding immunoproteasome inhibitors tested against different cancer models. Specifically, it will focus on peptide and non-peptide analogs that have been reported in the last five years, together with their structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. It aims to provide structural insights into this class of compounds pertaining to their favorable applicability as selective iCP inhibitors in the treatment of cancer.
