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

Tumor suppressor genes are frequently targeted by mutations introducing premature termination codons (PTC) in the protein coding sequence, both in sporadic cancers and in the germline of patients with cancer predisposition syndromes. These mutations have a high pathogenic impact since they generate C-terminal truncated proteins with altered stability and function. In addition, PTC mutations trigger transcript degradation by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Suppression of PTC by translational readthrough restores protein biosynthesis and stabilizes the PTC-targeted mRNA, making a suitable therapeutic approach the reconstitution of active full-length tumor suppressor proteins by pharmacologically-induced translational readthrough. Here, we review the recent advances in small molecule pharmacological induction of translational readthrough of disease-associated PTC from tumor suppressor genes, and discuss the therapeutic potential of translational readthrough in specific groups of patients with hereditary syndromic cancers.
