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

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a highly aggressive human malignancy without effective treatment. Yes-associated protein (YAP) is a critical effector of the Hippo pathway, which is essential in thyroid carcinogenesis. However, the underlying mechanisms of aberrant YAP expression in ATC are not completely understood. Ubiquitylation-related enzyme siRNA screening identified the ubiquitin protein ligase E3 component n-recognin 1 (UBR1) as a stabilizer of YAP in ATC cells. UBR1 deficiency reduced YAP protein levels and its target gene expression. UBR1 directly interacted with YAP and promoted its monoubiquitylation, competitively suppressing its polyubiquitylation and resulting in extended protein half-life. UBR1 depletion reduced ATC cell proliferation and migration in vitro. Xenograft tumor studies also suggested that UBR1 knockdown suppressed ATC cell growth in vivo. Furthermore, exogenous YAP expression partially reversed the inhibitive effects of UBR1 depletion on ATC cell proliferation and migration. Our studies demonstrated that UBR1 directly interacts with YAP and stabilized it in a monoubiquitylation-dependent manner, consequently promoting ATC tumorigenesis, suggesting that UBR1 might be a potentially therapeutic target for ATC treatment.
