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

Although targeting the ubiquitin-like PHD and RING finger domain-containing protein 1 (UHRF1) has shown promise in treating a number of diseases, its function in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and its regulatory connection to SOX11 are yet unknown. Our study showed that UHRF1 is markedly upregulated in MCL, and this overexpression is associated with a poorer overall survival rate in MCL patients. Furthermore, in clinical MCL specimens, UHRF1 showed a positive correlation with the expression of SOX11 and Ki-67. In vitro, UHRF1 knockdown induced apoptosis and caused G2/M-phase arrest while functionally suppressing MCL cell motility, invasion, and proliferation. In MCL xenograft models, UHRF1 silence significantly delayed tumor development, and pharmacological targeting UHRF1 with CM272 effectively inhibited MCL progression with a tolerable safety profile. Mechanistically, SOX11 drives the transcriptional activation of UHRF1 by directly binding to its promoter region. Our results reveal that the SOX11-UHRF1 regulatory axis is a critical modulator of tumor cell growth and proliferation and identify UHRF1 as a key oncogenic driver in MCL. Additionally, CM272's antitumor effect was validated in preclinical MCL animal models while exhibiting an acceptable safety profile.
