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

Introduction: Y-box binding protein 1 (YBX1) is a multifunctional RNA- and DNA-binding protein implicated in transcriptional regulation, mRNA stabilization, and translation, as well as cell proliferation and stress responses. Although widely studied in cancer and inflammation, its Methods: To investigate YBX1 function in these contexts, we performed transplantation of fetal liver cells (FLCs) from E14.5 Results: Despite markedly reduced cellularity and progenitor frequencies in Discussion: Mechanistic analyses demonstrated that YBX1 directly binds to immunoglobulin mRNAs and enhances their translation, establishing a post-transcriptional mechanism by which YBX1 supports humoral immunity. Together, these findings reveal an unexpected, non-redundant role for YBX1 in regulating immune effector functions. By enhancing immunoglobulin and myeloid inflammatory mediator mRNA translation, YBX1 emerges as a contributor to immune homeostasis and possibly tumor immune evasion by regulating the expression of immunomodulatory factors in immune and malignant cells alike.
