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

Synaptotagmin 12 (SYT12), a protein found to be upregulated in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), has emerged as a potential biomarker for this malignancy. However, the mechanisms governing its expression remain poorly understood. In this study, we identify SYT12 as a novel substrate of SPOP, an adaptor of the Cullin 3 E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. SPOP binds to SYT12 and mediates SYT12's K48-linked polyubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation. This interaction is dependent on the degron motif within SYT12, and deletion or mutation of the degron significantly impairs SPOP binding and stabilizes SYT12. We further demonstrate that GSK-3β-mediated phosphorylation of the degron is essential for SPOP recognition. Pharmacological inhibition of GSK-3β disrupts the SPOP-SYT12 interaction and increases SYT12 protein levels. Functionally, the SPOP-SYT12 axis modulates PTC cell viability and proliferation. Collectively, these findings uncover a novel regulatory mechanism of SYT12 expression and suggest that targeting the SPOP-SYT12 pathway may represent a promising therapeutic strategy for PTC.
