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

Activation of the NFκB signaling pathway allows the cell to respond to infection and stress and can affect many cellular processes. As a consequence, NFκB activity must be integrated with a wide variety of parallel signaling pathways. One mechanism through which NFκB can exert widespread effects is through controlling the expression of key regulatory kinases. Here we report that NFκB regulates the expression of genes required for centrosome duplication, and that Polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4) is a direct NFκB target gene. RNA interference, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and analysis of the PLK4 promoter in a luciferase reporter assay revealed that all NFκB subunits participate in its regulation. Moreover, we demonstrate that NFκB regulation of PLK4 expression is seen in multiple cell types. Significantly long-term deletion of the NFκB2 (p100/p52) subunit leads to defects in centrosome structure. This data reveals a new component of cell cycle regulation by NFκB and suggests a mechanism through which deregulated NFκB activity in cancer can lead to increased genomic instability and uncontrolled proliferation.
