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

backgroundSUGT1 (Suppressor of the G2 allele of SKP1) and FH (fumarate hydratase) have recently garnered significant attention from the research community. SUGT1 functions as a molecular chaperone, regulating the stability and activity of various proteins, while FH is a key enzyme in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, catalyzing the reversible conversion of fumarate to malate. Existing literature has established their essential roles in signaling, tumorigenesis, and cancer progression. However, their functions and mechanisms in ovarian cancer (OC) remain poorly understood.

resultsWe found that high SUGT1 expression is associated with a more advanced FIGO stage in OC. SUGT1 knockdown significantly inhibits OC cell proliferation and metastasis, while its overexpression has the opposite oncogenic effect. Mechanistically, we revealed that SUGT1 promotes FH protein degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Moreover, FH knockdown partly reversed the inhibitory effects of SUGT1 knockdown on tumor cell proliferation, migration, and proteins of phosphorylated PI3K/AKT and Vimentin. In summary, We demonstrated that SUGT1 exerts oncogenic functions in OC by regulating FH stability.

conclusionsOur study is the first to provide experimental evidence elucidating the SUGT1-FH relation and its role in OC progression, offering potential significance for clinical diagnosis and therapy.
