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

N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) is an evolutionarily conserved RNA modification catalyzed by the acetyltransferase NAT10. It regulates RNA stability, translation, and post-transcriptional processes. Meanwhile, NAT10 functions as a dual-function enzyme exhibiting both protein acetyltransferase and RNA acetylase activities. This review summarizes the structural and functional roles of NAT10-mediated acetylation in physiological contexts, including cell division, differentiation, inflammation, aging, and viral infection, as well as its emerging roles in cancer. In malignancies, NAT10-mediated acetylation drives tumor progression by enhancing mRNA stability, regulating cell cycle, promoting metastasis, suppressing ferroptosis, modulating metabolism, influencing p53 activity, mediating immune escape and fostering drug resistance. Interactions between NAT10 and non-coding RNAs further amplify its oncogenic effects. Unresolved questions, such as microbiota-mediated ac4C regulation and NAT10's impact on the tumor immune microenvironment, highlight future research directions. Targeting NAT10 and ac4C modification presents promising therapeutic opportunities, with advanced technologies like single-cell sequencing poised to refine epitranscriptome-based interventions.
