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 Ras GTPases comprising three main isoforms H-, N- and K-Ras operate at the plasma membrane as molecular switches in essential signaling pathways. Active concentration of the minor phospholipid phosphatidylserine in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane contributes to the electrostatic potential that is required for K-Ras anchoring to the plasma membrane. We recently observed that staurosporine and related analogs: 7-oxostaurosporine, UCN-01 and UCN-02, long known as relatively non-specific protein kinase inhibitors, block endosomal sorting and recycling of phosphatidylserine, resulting in redistribution of phosphatidylserine to endosomes and endomembranes with concomitant mislocalization of K-Ras. Staurosporines are therefore a new tool to study phosphatidylserine trafficking. We discuss whether the mechanism of action of UCN-01, an FDA-approved staurosporine analog used as an anti-cancer therapeutic, is related to effects on phosphatidylserine subcellular distribution. Given the high prevalence of expression of constitutively active K-Ras in human cancers, we ask whether inhibitors of phosphatidylserine trafficking may have important therapeutic applications.
