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

Ubiquitination is a dynamic and reversible post-translational modification mediated by ubiquitination regulators (UBRs), which plays an essential role in protein stability, cell differentiation and immunity. Dysregulation of UBRs can lead to destabilization of biological processes and may induce serious human diseases, including cancer. Many UBRs, such as E3 ubiquitin ligases and deubiquitinases (DUBs), have been identified as potential drug targets for cancer therapy. However, the potential clinical value of UBRs in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains to be elucidated. Here, we identified 17 hub UBRs from high-confidence protein-protein interaction networks of UBRs correlated with cancer hallmark-related pathways using four topological algorithms. The expression of hub UBRs is affected by copy number variation and post-transcriptional regulation, and their high expression is often detrimental to patient survival. Based on the expression profiles of hub UBRs, patients can be classified into two ubiquitination subtypes with different characteristics. These subtypes exhibit significant differences across multiple dimensions, including survival, expression level, mutation burden, female predominance, infiltration level, immune profile, and drug response. In addition, we established a scoring system for evaluating the ubiquitination status of individual LUAD patients, called the ubiquitination-related risk (UB_risk) score, and found that patients with low scores are more likely to gain advantages from immunotherapy. The results of this study emphasize the critical role of ubiquitination in the classification, tumor microenvironment and immunotherapy of LUAD. The construction of the UB_risk scoring system lays a research foundation for evaluating the ubiquitination status of individual LUAD patients and formulating precise treatment strategies from the ubiquitination level.
