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

Dysregulation of Hippo signaling is observed in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD). Moreover, overactivation of YAP is crucial for tumor progression. Although the inhibitory phospho-cascade is functional, the reason for YAP hyperactivation in PAAD remains unclear. Recent studies have revealed that the ubiquitin modification of YAP also plays an important role in the Hippo/YAP axis and cancer progression. To gain a better understanding of the potential mechanisms underlying the ubiquitination and deubiquitination of YAP, we carried out siRNA screening for critical deubiquitinases in PAAD. By using a deubiquitinase (DUB) library, we identified valosin-containing protein-interacting protein 1 (VCPIP1) as an important effector of YAP function and PAAD progression. Inhibition of VCPIP1 hampered PAAD progression via Hippo signaling. Clinical data revealed that VCPIP1 was elevated in PAAD and correlated with poor survival in PAAD patients. Biochemical assays demonstrated that VCPIP1 interacted with YAP, inhibiting K48-linked polyubiquitination and thereby increasing YAP stability. YAP directly binds to the VCPIP1 promoter region, enhancing its transcription in PAAD. Our study revealed a forward feedback loop between VCPIP1 and Hippo signaling in PAAD, indicating that VCPIP1 is a potential therapeutic drug target in PAAD.
