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

The rapid advances in epigenetic and epitranscriptomic regulatory mechanisms have opened new prospects for precision therapies in various diseases. N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) is currently the only known eukaryotic RNA ac4C acetyltransferase and has also been reported to acetylate multiple protein substrates, regulating diverse physiological processes. In this review, we comprehensively describe the domain organization, structural features and subcellular localization of NAT10. The molecular mechanisms underlying NAT10-mediated RNA ac4C modification and protein acetylation, as well as their biological functions across physiological and pathological contexts, are systematically summarized, with the aim of facilitating its clinical translation. Furthermore, we review the recent advances in NAT10-targeted therapeutic strategies, discuss the potential for combining NAT10-targeted strategies with existing treatment modalities, and propose possible approaches for optimization. By integrating current evidence, this review provides insights into the functions of NAT10 and highlights future research directions for its validation and translational development as a clinical therapeutic target in various diseases.
