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 centrosome that functions as a microtubule organizing center of a cell plays a key role in formation of bipolar mitotic spindles. Cells normally have either one (unduplicated) or two (duplicated) centrosomes. However, loss of the mechanisms controlling the numeral integrity of centrosomes leads to centrosome amplification (presence of more than two centrosomes), primarily via overduplication or fragmentation of centrosomes, resulting in defective mitosis and consequentially chromosome instability. Centrosome amplification frequently occurs in various cancers, and is considered as a major cause of chromosome instability. It has recently been found that ROCK2 kinase plays a critical role in promotion of centrosome duplication and amplification. Considering that ROCK2 is activated by Rho protein, and Rho is the immediate downstream target of many growth and hormone receptors, it is possible that such receptors may rather directly affect centrosome duplication and amplification. Indeed, constitutive activation of the receptors known to signal to the Rho pathway leads to promotion of centrosome amplification and chromosome instability in the Rho-ROCK2 pathway-dependent manner. These observations reveal an unexplored, yet important, oncogenic activities of those receptors in carcinogenesis; destabilizing chromosomes through promotion of centrosome amplification via continual activation of the Rho-ROCK2 pathway.
