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

Denticleless E3 ubiquitin protein ligase homolog (DTL), the substrate receptor of the CRL4A complex, plays a central role in genome stability. Even though the oncogenic function of DTL has been investigated in several cancers, its specific role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) still needs further elucidation. Data from a clinical cohort (n = 209), RNA-sequencing, and public database (TCGA and GEO) were analyzed, indicating that DTL is closely related to patient prognosis and could serve as a promising prognostic indicator in HCC. Functionally, DTL promoted the proliferation, metastasis, and sorafenib resistance of HCC in vitro. In the orthotopic tumor transplantation and tail vein injection model, DTL promoted the growth and metastasis of HCC in vivo. Mechanically, we revealed for the first time that DTL was transcriptionally activated by hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) under hypoxia and functioned as a downstream effector molecule of HIF-1α. DTL promotes the ubiquitination of SAFB-like transcription modulator (SLTM) and subsequently relieves the transcriptional repression of Notch1. These results suggested that DTL may be a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for HCC.
