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

Ubiquitination, a key post-translational modification, plays an essential role in tumor biology by regulating fundamental cellular processes, such as metabolism and cell death. Additionally, it interacts with other post-translational modifications, which are closely linked to tumorigenesis, tumor progression, the tumor microenvironment, and the response to therapeutic interventions. Recent advancements in understanding the ubiquitination mechanisms have led to significant breakthroughs, offering novel perspectives and strategies for diagnosing and treating tumors. Here, we provided an overview of how ubiquitination influences tumor biology, focusing on its roles in immune regulation, metabolism, and its interactions with other modifications. We also summarized the clinical potential of targeting E3 ubiquitin ligases and deubiquitinases as therapeutic strategies in cancer treatment.
