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

Cilia are thin cell projections with essential roles in cell motility, fluid movement, sensing, and signaling. They are templated from centrioles that dock against the plasma membrane and subsequently extend their peripheral microtubule array. The molecular mechanisms underpinning cilia assembly are incompletely understood. Cep104 is a key factor involved in cilia formation and length regulation that rides on the ends of elongating and shrinking cilia. It is mutated in Joubert syndrome, a genetically heterogeneous ciliopathy. Here we provide structural and biochemical data that Cep104 contains a tubulin-binding TOG (tumor overexpressed gene) domain and a novel C2HC zinc finger array. Furthermore, we identify the kinase Nek1, another ciliopathy-associated protein, as a potential binding partner of this array. Finally, we show that Nek1 competes for binding to Cep104 with the distal centriole-capping protein CP110. Our data suggest a model for Cep104 activity during ciliogenesis and provide a novel link between Cep104 and Nek1.
