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 mitotic kinase Aurora B is concentrated at the anaphase central spindle by the kinesin MKlp2 during mitotic exit and cytokinesis. This pool of Aurora B phosphorylates substrates including the kinesin KIF4A to regulate central spindle length. In this paper, we identify a counteracting system in which PP2A-B56γ and -ε, but not PP2A-B56α, -β, and -δ, are maintained at the central spindle by KIF4A. Biochemical assays show that PP2A-B56γ can dephosphorylate the T799 Aurora B site on KIF4A and thereby counteract the Aurora B- and microtubule-stimulated ATPase activity of KIF4A. In agreement with these observations, combined silencing of PP2A-B56γ and -ε resulted in increased phosphorylation of KIF4A T799 and decreased central spindle growth in anaphase B. Furthermore, reduced turnover of regulatory phosphorylation on another Aurora B substrate MKlp1 was observed, suggesting that PP2A-B56γ and -ε play a general role opposing Aurora B at the central spindle. KIF4A and PP2A-B56γ and -ε therefore create a spatially restricted negative feedback loop counteracting Aurora B in anaphase.
