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

Emerging evidence indicates that suppression of protein kinase C (PKC) renders the susceptibility of cells expressing mutated ras to apoptosis. Although the effort has been made, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study, using small hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) or PKC inhibitor, we show that the concurrent suppression of PKC-alpha and beta induces cells ectopically expressing v-ras to undergo apoptosis. In this apoptotic process, PKC-delta is upregulated and translocated from the cytosol to the nucleus. The activated PKC-delta associates with and phosphorylates p73 to initiate apoptosis. In this apoptotic process, Akt seems to be downstream of oncogenic Ras. Moreover, overexpression of PKC-delta, without co-suppression of PKC-alpha and beta, is not apoptotic to the cells, suggesting that PKC-delta and PKC-alpha/beta function oppositely to facilitate cells harboring v-ras to survive. Thus, our study shows that PKC-alpha and beta are necessary for sustaining the homeostasis in cells containing a hyperactive Ras. The abrogation of these two isoforms switches on the p73-regulated apoptotic machinery through the activation of PKC-delta.
