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

High expression of the oncoprotein Myc has been linked to poor outcome in human tumors. Although MYC gene amplification and translocations have been observed, this can explain Myc overexpression in only a subset of human tumors. Myc expression is in part controlled by its protein stability, which can be regulated by phosphorylation at threonine 58 (T58) and serine 62 (S62). We now report that Myc protein stability is increased in a number of breast cancer cell lines and this correlates with increased phosphorylation at S62 and decreased phosphorylation at T58. Moreover, we find this same shift in phosphorylation in primary breast cancers. The signaling cascade that controls phosphorylation at T58 and S62 is coordinated by the scaffold protein Axin1. We therefore examined Axin1 in breast cancer and report decreased AXIN1 expression and a shift in the ratio of expression of two naturally occurring AXIN1 splice variants. We demonstrate that this contributes to increased Myc protein stability, altered phosphorylation at S62 and T58, and increased oncogenic activity of Myc in breast cancer. Thus, our results reveal an important mode of Myc activation in human breast cancer and a mechanism contributing to Myc deregulation involving unique insight into inactivation of the Axin1 tumor suppressor in breast cancer.
