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

We recently showed that the Drosophila transforming acidic coiled-coil (D-TACC) protein is located in the centrosome, interacts with microtubules, and is required for mitosis in the Drosophila embryo. There are three known human TACC proteins that share a conserved, C-terminal, coiled-coil region with D-TACC. These proteins have all been implicated in cancer, but their normal functions are unknown. We show that all three human TACC proteins are concentrated at centrosomes, but with very different characteristics: TACC1 is weakly concentrated at centrosomes during mitosis; TACC2 is strongly concentrated at centrosomes throughout the cell cycle; and TACC3 is strongly concentrated in a more diffuse region around centrosomes during mitosis. When the C-terminal TACC domain is overexpressed in HeLa cells, it forms large polymers in the cytoplasm that can interact with both microtubules and tubulin. The full-length TACC proteins form similar polymers when overexpressed, but their interaction with microtubules and tubulin is regulated during the cell cycle. At least one of the human TACC proteins appears to increase the number and/or stability of centrosomal microtubules when overexpressed during mitosis. Thus, the TACC domain identifies a family of centrosomal proteins that can interact with microtubules. This may explain the link between the TACC genes and cancer.
