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 AurkA serine/threonine kinase is a key regulator of cell division controlling mitotic entry, centrosome maturation, and chromosome segregation. The microtubule-associated protein TPX2 controls spindle assembly and is the main AurkA regulator, contributing to AurkA activation, localisation, and stabilisation. Since their identification, AurkA and TPX2 have been described as being overexpressed in cancer, with a significant correlation with highly proliferative and aneuploid tumours. Despite the frequent occurrence of AurkA/TPX2 co-overexpression in cancer, the investigation of their involvement in tumorigenesis and cancer therapy resistance mostly arises from studies focusing only on one at the time. Here, we review the existing literature and discuss the mitotic phenotypes described under conditions of AurkA, TPX2, or AurkA/TPX2 overexpression, to build a picture that may help clarify their oncogenic potential through the induction of chromosome instability. We highlight the relevance of the AurkA/TPX2 complex as an oncogenic unit, based on which we discuss recent strategies under development that aim at disrupting the complex as a promising therapeutic perspective.
