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

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a leading cause of cancer mortality. Despite advancements in gene targeted therapies and immunotherapies, high heterogeneity contributes to limited efficacy and therapeutic resistance. Ubiquitination, a crucial post-translational modification that regulates protein stability and degradation, plays a significant role in cancer pathogenesis by influencing key oncogenic pathways and tumour progression. This review systematically explores the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) and its potential as a therapeutic target for NSCLC. We highlight recent preclinical and clinical studies focusing on ubiquitination-related biomarkers, drug targets and emerging therapies like proteasome inhibitors and Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs). By exploring the impact of the UPS on tumour biology, the progression of NSCLC and its response to therapy, we aim to underscore the potential of targeting the ubiquitination-deubiquitination system as a complementary or synergistic approach to existing therapeutic strategies in NSCLC, thereby enhancing patient outcomes and overcoming treatment resistance.
