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-oncogene addiction (NOA) indicates that tumor cell growth/survival requires the activity of genes/pathways not oncogenic per sé, and dispensable for normal cells. NOA genes provide a wide repertoire of novel therapeutic exploitable tumor vulnerabilities. A large body of evidence demonstrates the dependency of several tumors such as breast, prostate, ovary, thyroid, glioblastoma and LUAD, on the activity of COPZ1, a component of the heptameric COPI complex. Thus, COPZ1 is emerging as a potential novel therapeutic target for tumors of different origin. In different tumor models COPZ1 inhibition was found implicated in abortive autophagy, ER stress and activation of ferroptosis. In this review we summarize the different studies characterizing COPZ1 as a NOA gene in different tumor types, and discuss potential issues related to its targeting.
