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 ubiquitin (Ub) system, a ubiquitous presence across eukaryotes, plays a crucial role in the precise orchestration of diverse cellular protein processes. From steering cellular signaling pathways and orchestrating cell cycle progression to guiding receptor trafficking and modulating immune responses, this process plays a crucial role in regulating various biological functions. The dysregulation of Ub-mediated signaling pathways in prevalent cancers ushers in a spectrum of clinical outcomes ranging from tumorigenesis and metastasis to recurrence and drug resistance. Ubiquitination, a linchpin process mediated by Ub, assumes a central mantle in molding cellular signaling dynamics. It navigates transitions in biological cues and ultimately shapes the destiny of proteins. Recent years have witnessed an upsurge in the momentum surrounding the development of protein-based therapeutics aimed at targeting the Ub system under the sway of cancer stem cells. The article provides a comprehensive overview of the ongoing in-depth discussions regarding the regulation of the Ub system and its impact on the development of cancer stem cells. Amidst the tapestry of insights, the article delves into the expansive roles of E3 Ub ligases, deubiquitinases, and transcription factors entwined with cancer stem cells. Furthermore, the spotlight turns to the interplay with pivotal signaling pathways the Notch, Hedgehog, Wnt/β-catenin, and Hippo-YAP signaling pathways all play crucial roles in the regulation of cancer stem cells followed by the specific modulation of Ub-proteasome.
