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

CDT2 targets proteins involved in replication licensing (CDT1), cell cycle control (p21), and chromatin modification (SET8) for destruction by the CUL4-based E3 ligase (CRL4). CRL4(CDT2) recruits these substrates through interactions with chromatin-bound PCNA and ubiquitinates them exclusively on chromatin. Rereplication and G(2) cell cycle arrest are observed in CDT2-depleted cells. The rereplication phenotype has been attributed to an inability to destroy CDT1, but the molecular target important for G(2) cell cycle arrest in CDT2-depleted cells has not been identified. Here we identify CHK1 as a novel CRL4(CDT2) substrate and demonstrate that CHK1 activity is required for maintaining G(2) arrest in CDT2-depleted cells. We demonstrate that CRL4(CDT2) targets the activated form of CHK1 for destruction in the nucleoplasm rather than on chromatin and that this occurs in a PCNA-independent manner. Although both CRL1 and CRL4 ubiquitinate CHK1, we report that they bind CHK1 in distinct cellular compartments. Our study provides insight into how elevated CDT2 expression levels may provide tumors with a proliferative advantage.
