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

ADP-ribosyl transferases (ARTs) are a family of enzymes which catalyze the addition of a chain (PARylation) or a single moiety (MARylation) of ADP-ribose to their substrates. PARP7 is a mono-ADP-ribosyl transferase (mono-ART) which has recently gained attention due to its emerging role as a negative regulator of the type I interferon (IFN-I) and nuclear receptor signaling, and due to its aberrant expression in cancer, contributing to disease progression and immune evasion. PARP7-mediated ADP-ribosylation can differentially affect protein stability. On the one hand, PARP7-mediated ADP-ribosylation of the transcription factor FRA1 protects it from proteosomal degradation and thereby supports its function in negatively regulating IRF1 and the expression of apoptosis and immune signaling genes. On the other hand, PARP7-mediated ADP-ribosylation of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) and estrogen receptor (ER) marks them for proteosomal degradation. PARP7 also ADP-ribosylates the ligand-bound androgen receptor (AR), which is recognized by DTX3L-PARP9 that modulate the AR transcriptional activity. In this review, we discuss PARP7 enzymatic properties, biological functions and known substrates, its role in various cancers, and its targeting by specific inhibitors.
