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

abstractWe found that PSMD1, a key subunit of the 19S proteasome regulatory particle, was overexpressed and correlated with poor prognosis in multiple myeloma (MM). Genetic depletion of PSMD1 decreased cancer cell viability, induced polyubiquitinated protein accumulation, and promoted apoptosis. Proteomic analysis revealed the activation of immune-related pathways, suggesting the potential for immune modulation. Targeting PSMD1 with small interfering RNA (siRNA), delivered via lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), reduced tumor growth in MM cell lines and primary patient samples while sparing normal cells. It also overcame proteasome inhibitor resistance and the protective effects of the bone marrow milieu. In MM xenograft mouse models, PSMD1 siRNA LNPs significantly reduced tumor growth and prolonged survival. In addition, PSMD1 depletion had similar effects on other types of cancer cell lines. These findings position PSMD1 as a critical target in cancer therapy, with broad implications for overcoming drug resistance, improving therapeutic outcomes, and potentially affecting immune responses across various cancers. These findings provide a foundation for the clinical development of PSMD1-targeted therapies in myeloma and other malignancies.
