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

Cancer cells are often aneuploid and frequently display elevated rates of chromosome mis-segregation, called chromosomal instability (CIN). CIN is caused by hyperstable kinetochore-microtubule (K-MT) attachments that reduce the correction efficiency of erroneous K-MT attachments. UMK57, a chemical agonist of the protein MCAK (mitotic centromere-associated kinesin), improves chromosome segregation fidelity in CIN cancer cells by destabilizing K-MT attachments, but cells rapidly develop resistance. To determine the mechanism, we performed unbiased screens, which revealed increased phosphorylation in cells adapted to UMK57 at Aurora kinase A phosphoacceptor sites on BOD1L1 (protein biorientation defective 1-like-1). BOD1L1 depletion or Aurora kinase A inhibition eliminated resistance to UMK57. BOD1L1 localizes to spindles/kinetochores during mitosis, interacts with the PP2A phosphatase, and regulates phosphorylation levels of kinetochore proteins, chromosome alignment, mitotic progression, and fidelity. Moreover, the BOD1L1 gene is mutated in a subset of human cancers, and BOD1L1 depletion reduces cell growth in combination with clinically relevant doses of Taxol or Aurora kinase A inhibitor.
