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

RASSF1A is a putative tumor suppressor gene that is inactivated in a variety of human tumors. Expression of exogenous RASSF1A has been shown to inhibit tumor growth in vitro and in animals. However, the molecular mechanisms by which RASSF1A mediates its tumor suppressive effects remain to be elucidated. Here, we report that RASSF1A is a microtubule-binding protein that interacts with and stabilizes microtubules. We have identified the RASSF1A region harboring a basic domain that appears to mediate the interactions between RASSF1A and microtubules. The basic domain-containing RASSF1C isoform also interacts with and stabilizes microtubules. We further show that in addition to G1 arrest, RASSF1A promotes growth arrest in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle and endogenous RASSF1A also interacts with microtubules. Based on our results, we propose that RASSF1A may mediate its tumor suppressive effects by inducing growth arrest in the G1 and G2/M phases. Together, these results provide important new insights into the molecular mechanisms by which this novel tumor suppressor mediates its biological effects.
