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 HIPPO pathway is an evolutionary conserved regulator of organ size that controls both cell proliferation and death. This pathway has an important role in mediating cell death in response to oxidative stress through the inactivation of Yes-associated protein (YAP) and inhibition of anti-oxidant gene expression. Cells exposed to oxidative stress induce the phosphorylation of the alpha (α) subunit of the translation initiation factor eIF2 at serine 51 (eIF2αP), a modification that leads to the general inhibition of mRNA translation initiation. Under these conditions, increased eIF2αP facilitates the mRNA translation of activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), which mediates either cell survival and adaptation or cell death under conditions of severe stress. Herein, we demonstrate a functional connection between the HIPPO and eIF2αP-ATF4 pathways under oxidative stress. We demonstrate that ATF4 promotes the stabilization of the large tumor suppressor 1 (LATS1), which inactivates YAP by phosphorylation. ATF4 inhibits the expression of NEDD4.2 and WWP1 mRNAs under pro-oxidant conditions, which encode ubiquitin ligases mediating the proteasomal degradation of LATS1. Increased LATS1 stability is required for the induction of cell death under oxidative stress. Our data reveal a previously unidentified ATF4-dependent pathway in the induction of cell death under oxidative stress via the activation of LATS1 and HIPPO pathway.
