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

objectivesSpindle and kinetochore-associated protein 1(SKA1), originally identified as a protein essential for proper chromosome segregation, has been recently linked to multiple malignancies. This study aimed to explore the biological, clinical role and molecular mechanism of SKA1 in pancreatic carcinogenesis. MATERIALS AND

methodsSKA1 expression was detected in 145 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) specimens by immunohistochemistry. Biological behaviour assays were used to determine the role of SKA1 in PDAC progression in vitro and in vivo. Using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ), SKA1's downstream proteins were examined. Moreover, cytochalasin B and ZCL278 were used to explore the changes of SKA1-induced signalling and cell morphology, with further confirmation by immunoblotting and immunofluorescence assays.

resultsIncreased SKA1 expression was significantly correlated with tumour size and cellular differentiation degree in PDAC tissues. Furthermore, elevated levels of SKA1 reflected shorter overall survival (P = .019). As for biological behaviour, SKA1 acted as a tumour promotor in PDAC, overexpression of SKA1 facilitates cell proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that SKA1 enhanced pancreatic cancer aggressiveness by inhibiting G2/M arrest and regulating actin cytoskeleton organization via activating Cdc42.

conclusionsThis study revealed novel roles for SKA1 as an important regulator of actin cytoskeleton organization and an oncogene in PDAC cells, which may provide insights into developing novel therapeutics.
