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

Persistent infection with high-risk (HR) human papillomaviruses (HPVs) is responsible for approximately 5% of cancer cases worldwide, including a growing number of oropharyngeal and anogenital cancers. The major HPV oncoproteins, E6 and E7, act together to manipulate cellular pathways involved in the regulation of proliferation, the cell cycle and cell survival, ultimately driving malignant transformation. Protein ubiquitination and the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) is often deregulated upon viral infection and in oncogenesis. HPV E6 and E7 interact with and disrupt multiple components of the ubiquitination machinery to promote viral persistence, which can also result in cellular transformation and the formation of tumours. This review highlights the ways in which HPV manipulates protein ubiquitination and the ubiquitin-like protein pathways and how this contributes to tumour development. Furthermore, we discuss how understanding the interactions between HPV and the protein ubiquitination could lead to novel therapeutic targets that are of urgent need in HPV+ carcinomas.
