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

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a critical cellular surveillance mechanism that prevents the translation of defective or deleterious proteins. The regulation of NMD, including both its activation and the evasion of its target mRNA, is intricately linked to tumorigenesis. When NMD becomes overactivated, it can downregulate tumor suppressor transcripts, or eliminate immunogenic peptides, thereby promoting tumor growth and immune evasion. In contrast, reduced or defective NMD can stabilize mutated oncogene transcripts and drive tumor progression. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the physiological mechanisms of NMD, its diverse substrate features, and its regulatory dynamics. We further focus on recent advances in clarifying the interplay between NMD and tumor biology. By integrating the current findings, we aim to provide an insightful understanding of how NMD contributes to tumor initiation, tumor progression, and immune modulation.
