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

Lysine lactylation is a post-translational modification induced by lactate discovered in recent years. Abnormal lysine lactylation contributes to the occurrence and progression of various tumors. However, the mediators and downstream targets of lysine lactylation remain unclear. Here, we report that HAT1 serves as a potential lactyltransferase that can promote homologous recombination and lead to radioresistance by regulating lactylation of RPA1. Lactylation of RPA1 facilitates its binding to single-stranded DNA and MRE11-RAD50-NBS1 (MRN) complexes and promotes homologous recombination. HAT1 knockout inhibits DNA repair in lung adenocarcinoma cells, thereby increasing radiotherapy sensitivity. Interestingly, we also found that K15 auto-lactylation of HAT1 can modulate its lactyltransferase activity. In conclusion, our research reveals that HAT1-regulated RPA1 lactylation plays an important role in homologous recombination and radioresistance, suggesting that HAT1 may become a potential therapeutic target for reversing the radioresistance caused by lactate accumulation in cancer cells.
