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

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is an important oncogenic transcription factor residing in the cytoplasm in the resting cells. Upon stimulation, STAT3 is activated and translocated to the nucleus to regulate target genes. Although the canonical transcriptional function of STAT3 has been intensively studied, less is known about its cytoplasmic localization. In this study, by immunoprecipitation, microtubule cosedimentation, and immunofluorescence assays, we present the first evidence that cytoplasmic STAT3 interacts with both tubulin and microtubules. By using small-molecule inhibitor approaches, we further demonstrate that the localization of STAT3 on microtubules and its activation are independent of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) activity. In addition, disruption of microtubule dynamics does not alter the activation and nuclear translocation of STAT3 in response to interleukin-6 treatment. These findings reveal that cytoplasmic STAT3 is physically associated with microtubules, whereas its activation and nuclear translocation are independent of microtubule dynamics, implicating that the association of STAT3 with microtubules might be involved in the regulation of noncanonical functions of STAT3 in the cytoplasm.
