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

Mature mRNAs are generated by spliceosomes that recruit factors to aid RNA splicing in which introns are removed and exons joined. Among the splicing factors, a family of proteins contain a homologous U2 Auxiliary Factor (U2AF) Homology Motif (UHM) to bind with factors containing U2AF ligand motifs (ULM) and recruit them to regulate 3' splice site selection. Mutations and overexpression of UHM splicing factors are frequently found in cancers. Although a few UHM inhibitors have been reported, their activities in cancer cells were not investigated. Here, we studied our recently discovered UHM inhibitor, SF-153, that targeted RBM39 and SPF45, and found SF-153 exerted anti-tumor activities in three leukemia cell lines. In the cell cycle and apoptosis analysis, SF-153 induces p53 mediated DNA damage response to give protracted S phase in NKM-1 but p53-independent G1 arrest in p53
