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

p27(Kip1) (p27) can have opposing roles during malignant transformation depending on cellular context: on one hand it functions as a tumor suppressor by inhibiting cyclin-cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) activity in the nucleus and on the other it may adopt an oncogenic role that is less well understood. To gain further insight into the roles played by p27 during tumorigenesis, we compared the susceptibility with urethane-induced tumorigenesis of two p27 mouse models, p27(-/-) and p27(CK-) knockin, in which p27 cannot bind or inhibit cyclin-CDKs. In this K-Ras-driven tumorigenesis model, p27(CK-) mice had an increase in both tumor number and aggressiveness compared with p27(-/-), indicating a cooperation between p27(CK-) and activated Ras. In the lung, increased tumorigenesis was associated with cytoplasmic localization of p27(CK-) and bronchiolaveolar stem cell amplification. The ability of p27(CK-) to cooperate with other oncogenes was not universal. When c-Myc was used as a transforming agent, p27 status became irrelevant and c-Myc was equally potent in transforming p27(+/+), p27(-/-) and p27(CK-) cells. In fact, c-Myc induced the degradation of wild-type p27 via the Skp-Cullin-F-box (SCF)-Skp2 pathway. In contrast, p27(CK-) levels were not affected by c-Myc expression, as p27(CK-) is insensitive to Skp2-mediated degradation because of its inability to bind cyclin E/CDK2. However, in presence of c-Myc, p27(CK-) remained mostly nuclear, providing an explanation for its inability to cooperate with Myc during transformation. Thus, we propose that the p27(CK-) protein needs to be localized in the cytoplasm in order to function as an oncogene, otherwise it just behaves similar to a null allele.
