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 proto-oncogene c-Jun plays an important role in regulating tumor progression. We previously reported that the serine/threonine phosphatase calcineurin (CaN, also called PP2B) dephosphorylates the C-terminus (Ser-243) of c-Jun, resulting in the increase in c-Jun and Sp1 interaction, and subsequent c-Jun-induced gene expression. Here, we demonstrate the interaction of c-Jun and CaN in the nucleus of living cells by fluorescence resonance energy transfer assay and that this interaction is mediated through the calmodulin-binding domain of CaN. Furthermore, c-Jun protein stability was altered by CaN-mediated dephosphorylation at the Ser-243 site of c-Jun. The half-life of the c-Jun mutant, c-Jun-S243A was longer than that of the wild-type c-Jun. Moreover, silencing of endogenous CaN expression led to increased c-Jun ubiquitination and decreased stability. In 46% of clinical cervical tissue samples obtained from patients with cervical cancer, enhanced c-Jun and CaN expression, as well as decreased phospho-Ser-243 expression levels were detected. Our results suggest that CaN stabilizes c-Jun by dephosphorylating c-Jun at Ser-243 to enhance its tumorigenic ability.
