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

Wnt/β-catenin signaling controls various cell fates in metazoan development, and its dysregulation is often associated with cancer formation. However, regulations of this signaling pathway are not completely understood. Here, we report that Lzap, a tumor suppressor, controls nuclear translocation of β-catenin. In zebrafish embryos disruption of lzap increases the expression of chordin (chd), which encodes a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonist that is localized in prospective dorsal cells and promotes dorsal fates. Consistently, lzap-deficient embryos with attenuated BMP signaling are dorsalized, which can be rescued by overexpression of zebrafish lzap or bmp2b or human LZAP. The expansion of chd expression in embryos lacking lzap is due to the accumulation of nuclear β-catenin in ventral cells, in which β-catenin is usually degraded. Furthermore, the activity of GSK3, a master regulator of β-catenin degradation, is suppressed in lzap-deficient embryos via inhibitory phosphorylation. Finally, we also report that a similar regulatory axis is also likely to be present in a human tongue carcinoma cell line, SAS. Our results reveal that Lzap is a novel regulator of GSK3 for the maintenance of ventral cell properties and may prevent carcinogenesis via the regulation of β-catenin degradation.
