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

RAD9 regulates multiple cellular processes that influence genomic integrity, and for at least some of its functions the protein acts as part of a heterotrimeric complex bound to HUS1 and RAD1 proteins. RAD9 participates in DNA repair, including base excision repair, homologous recombination repair and mismatch repair, multiple cell cycle phase checkpoints and apoptosis. In addition, functions including the transactivation of downstream target genes, immunoglobulin class switch recombination, as well as 3'-5' exonuclease activity have been reported. Aberrant RAD9 expression has been linked to breast, lung, thyroid, skin and prostate tumorigenesis, and a cause-effect relationship has been demonstrated for the latter two. Interestingly, human RAD9 overproduction correlates with prostate cancer whereas deletion of Mrad9, the corresponding mouse gene, in keratinocytes leads to skin cancer. These results reveal that RAD9 protein can function as an oncogene or tumor suppressor, and aberrantly high or low levels can have deleterious health consequences. It is not clear which of the many functions of RAD9 is critical for carcinogenesis, but several alternatives are considered herein and implications for the development of novel cancer therapies based on these findings are examined.
