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

unlabelledOverexpression of the oncoprotein Aurora A kinase occurs in multiple types of cancer, often early during cell transformation. To identify the mechanism(s) contributing to enhanced Aurora A protein expression, a comparison between normal human lung fibroblast and breast epithelial cells to nontumorigenic breast (MCF10A and MCF12A) and tumorigenic breast (MCF-7) and cervical cell lines (HeLa S3) was performed. A subset of these immortalized lines (MCF10A, MCF12A, and HeLa S3) exhibited increased levels of Aurora A protein, independent of tumorigenicity. The increase in Aurora A protein in these immortalized cells was not due to increased transcription/RNA stability, protein half-life, or cap-dependent translation. Assays utilizing monocistronic and dicistronic RNA constructs revealed that the 5'-leader sequence of Aurora A contains an internal ribosomal entry site (IRES), which is regulated in a cell cycle-dependent manner, peaking in G2/M phase. Moreover, IRES activity was increased in the immortalized cell lines in which Aurora A protein expression was also enhanced. Additional studies indicated that the increased internal initiation is specific to the IRES of Aurora A and may be an early event during cancer progression. These results identify a novel mechanism contributing to Aurora A kinase overexpression. IMPLICATIONS: The current study indicates that Aurora A kinase contributes to immortalization and tumorigenesis.
