A Systematic Review to Define the Multi-Faceted Role of Lysine Methyltransferase SETD7 in Cancer.
Review in Cancers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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.
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
Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase SETD7 regulates a variety of cancer-related processes, in a tissue-type and signalling context-dependent manner. To date, there is no consensus regarding SETD7´s biological functions, or potential for cancer diagnostics and therapeutics. In this work, we summarised the literature on SETD7 expression and function in cancer, to identify the contexts where SETD7 expression and targeting can lead to improvements in cancer diagnosis and therapy. The most studied cancers were found to be lung and osteosarcoma followed by colorectal and breast cancers. SETD7 mRNA and/or protein expression in human cancer tissue was evaluated using public databases and/or in-house cohorts, but its prognostic significance remains inconclusive. The most studied cancer-related processes regulated by SETD7 were cell proliferation, apoptosis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, migration and invasion with special relevance to the pRb/E2F-1 pathway. SETD7 consistently prevented epithelial to mesenchymal transition in different cancer types, and inhibition of its function appears to be associated with improved response to DNA-damaging agents in most of the analysed studies. Stabilising mutations in SETD7 target proteins prevent their methylation or promote other competing post-translational modifications that can override the SETD7 effect. This indicates that a clear discrimination of these mutations and competing signalling pathways must be considered in future functional studies.
