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 eukaryotic cell cycle is regulated by sequential activation and inactivation of cyclin-cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) complexes. In this work, we screened human cDNAs that can rescue yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae from lethality caused by ectopic expression of human cyclin E and isolated a cDNA encoding ESXR1, a paired-like homeodomain-containing protein with a unique C-terminal proline-rich repeat region. In adult tissues, ESXR1 is primarily expressed in the testis. We demonstrate that ESXR1 prevents degradation of ubiquitinated cyclins in human cells. Accordingly, elevation of ESXR1 level results in accumulation of cyclin A and cyclin B1 and thereby provokes M-phase arrest. In human cells, the 65-kDa full-length ESXR1 protein is capable of proteolytically processing into N-terminal 45-kDa and C-terminal 20-kDa fragments. The C-terminal fragment, containing a proline-rich repeat region, is localized to the cytoplasm and displays the ability to inhibit cyclin degradation. In contrast, the N-terminal fragment, containing a paired-like homeodomain, is localized exclusively in the nucleus, suggesting that it plays a role in transcription. Our results indicate that proteolytic processing of ESXR1 plays a role in concerted regulation of the cell cycle and transcription in human cells.
