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

Acetylation is an increasing area of focus for cancer research as it is closely related to a variety of cellular processes through modulation of histone and non-histone proteins. However, broadly targeting acetylation threatens to yield nonselective toxic effects owing to the vital role of acetylation in cellular function. There is thus a pressing need to elucidate and characterize the specific cancer-relevant roles of acetylation for future therapeutic design. Acetylation-mediated protein homeostasis is an example of selective acetylation that affects a myriad of proteins as well as their correlated functions. We review recent examples of acetylation-mediated protein homeostasis that have emerged as key contributors to tumorigenesis, tumor proliferation, metastasis, and/or drug resistance, and we discuss their implications for future exploration of this intriguing phenomenon.
