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

Special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 2 (SATB2) is a nuclear matrix-associated protein with a pivotal role in glioblastoma (GBM) progression. However, the mechanisms underpinning aberrant SATB2 expression remain elusive. Here, we identify the ubiquitin specific peptidase 10 (USP10) as a deubiquitinase and the deltex E3 ubiquitin ligase 3 L (DTX3L) as a ubiquitin ligase of SATB2 in glioma stem cells (GSCs). USP10 and DTX3L regulate SATB2 ubiquitination at the K266 residue through mutually exclusive interactions and opposing activities. USP10, enriched in GSCs, is induced by transcription factor YY2. Knockdown of USP10 or overexpression of DTX3L markedly downregulates SATB2, resulting in the inhibition of GSC self-renewal and GBM growth, which can be rescued by the overexpression of SATB2. Importantly, pharmacological inhibition of USP10 by Wu-5 effectively suppresses tumor growth. These findings highlight the antagonistic roles of USP10 and DTX3L in the regulation of GBM malignancy and propose USP10 as a potential therapeutic target.
