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

The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) plays a central role in regulating protein homeostasis and degradation. Its dysregulation is closely associated with various diseases, including cancer. S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 (SKP2) is a key E3 ubiquitin ligase component of the UPS. It induces proteasome-mediated protein degradation or modulates substrate function by conjugating K48-linked or K63-linked ubiquitin chains to diverse target proteins. Recent studies have shown that the overexpression of SKP2 in several cancer types is correlated with poor clinical outcomes, underscoring its potential as a therapeutic target. Notably, emerging evidence has expanded the functional repertoire of SKP2 beyond cell cycle control to encompass metabolism, DNA repair, stemness, tumor microenvironment (TME) and immunotherapy response, positioning it as an increasingly attractive target for intervention. In this review, the oncogenic properties of SKP2 and its underlying mechanisms were elucidated in multiple cancer types. Moreover, we systematically summarized future directions for SKP2-targeted therapy.
