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

CCAR2 is a widely expressed protein involved in the regulation of a variety of transcriptional complexes. High expression of CCAR2 correlates with poor outcomes in many human tumor types such as squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Paradoxically, loss of Ccar2 in the mouse results in an increased tumor burden, suggesting that CCAR2 may in fact function as a tumor suppressor. This tumor suppressor function is dependent on p53, a protein that is inactivated in the vast majority of SCC tumors, leaving the role of CCAR2 in p53-null tumors unclear. We sought to identify p53-independent CCAR2 functions in SCC and to examine its role in tumorigenesis. We found that CCAR2 is highly overexpressed in p53-deficient SCC cell lines compared with normal primary keratinocytes due to increased protein stability. We identify a role for CCAR2 in promoting the stability of the transcription factors RFX1 and CREB1, which are both required for proliferation. Finally, we show that CCAR2 is required for proliferation in vitro and in established SCC tumors in vivo. Our data suggest an important role for CCAR2 in maintaining cell cycle progression and promoting SCC tumorigenesis.
