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

Targeting base excision repair (BER) has been an attractive strategy in cancer therapeutics. RNA-binding motif protein 39 (RBM39) modulates the alternative splicing of numerous genes involved in cancer occurrence and progression. However, whether and how RBM39 regulates BER in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unclear. Here, we found that under oxidative stress, RBM39 degradation or knockdown decreased BER efficiency in HCC cells using a well-designed BER reporter. Further assays showed that RBM39 promoted HCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, enhancing cell survival and inhibiting apoptosis. Mechanistically, RBM39 interacted with the mRNA of the essential glycosidase 8-oxoguanine-DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1), thereby stabilising OGG1 mRNA. This in turn increases OGG1 expression and promotes BER efficiency in HCC. Moreover, data suggested that RBM39 degradation, combined with oxidative damage, could be more effective for HCC treatment than monotherapy, both in vitro and in xenograft mice models. Overall, we demonstrated that RBM39 regulated OGG1 stabilisation and improved BER efficiency, suggesting that combining the RBM39 degradant indisulam with the oxidising agent KBrO
