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

DEAD-box ATPase 10 (DDX10), a prominent RNA-binding protein in the DDX family, has a critical function in cancer progression. Nevertheless, its well-defined mechanisms in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) are still not well understood. Here, we identify that DDX10 is substantially increased in OSCC, which is positively correlated with poor prognosis and malignant behavior. Mechanistically, we found that DDX10 had physical interaction with Rab27b by undergoing phase separation. Knockdown of DDX10 inhibited Rab27b-mediated exosome secretion and the expression of programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) within its contents. Furthermore, knocking down DDX10 could restore the function and infiltration of T cells, hence inhibiting the progression of OSCC. These findings highlight that the oncogenic role of DDX10 in promoting exosomal PD-L1 secretion via phase separation with Rab27b has been preliminarily validated in T cell exhaustion in OSCC. A potential strategy for improving OSCC immunotherapy may involve the inhibition of DDX10.
