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

backgroundSUMOylation is a pivotal post-translational modification (PTM) that has been extensively investigated in nuclear processes. However, its role in regulating suborganelle homeostasis warrants further exploration. Recent studies have highlighted the significance of SUMOylation in modulating mitochondrial dynamics and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), among other cellular processes, thereby offering novel insights into disease pathogenesis. AIM OF REVIEW: This review aims to systematically elucidate the roles and mechanisms of SUMOylation in regulating the homeostasis of various organelles. Furthermore, it integrates emerging evidence concerning the regulation of multi-organelle functions via SUMOylation and its associated PTM network. Additionally, it proposes novel therapeutic strategies targeting the SUMOylation pathway for diseases linked to these processes. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF REVIEW: SUMOylation plays a pivotal role in regulating fundamental cellular processes, including mitochondrial function, ER protein folding, intracellular vesicle transport and degradation, ribosome assembly, and lipid droplet formation. By serving as a bridge for inter-organelle signal communication, SUMOylation coordinates cross-organelle stress responses and acts as a central regulatory hub for maintaining organelle homeostasis. Moreover, the intricate network formed by SUMOylation in conjunction with other PTMs, such as ubiquitination and phosphorylation, collaboratively regulates organelle states and functions as a critical molecular switch for controlling cellular protein homeostasis. Currently, targeted intervention strategies focusing on the SUMOylation pathway have emerged as a promising translational medicine research direction for restoring organelle homeostasis and addressing tumors and metabolic diseases, demonstrating broad clinical application potential.
