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 four-subunit chromosomal passenger complex (CPC), whose enzymatic subunit is Aurora B kinase, promotes chromosome biorientation by detaching incorrect kinetochore-microtubule attachments. In this study, we use a combination of truncations and artificial dimerization in budding yeast to define the minimal CPC elements essential for its biorientation function. We engineered a minimal CPC comprised of the dimerized last third of the kinase-activating Sli15/INCENP scaffold and the catalytic subunit Ipl1/Aurora B. Although native Sli15 is not oligomeric, artificial dimerization suppressed the biorientation defect and lethality associated with deletion of a majority of its microtubule-binding domain. Dimerization did not act through a physical clustering-based kinase activation mechanism but instead promoted spindle association, likely via a putative helical domain in Sli15 that is essential even when dimerized and is required to target kinetochore substrates. Based on the engineering and characterization of a minimal CPC, we suggest that spindle association is important for active Ipl1/Aurora B complexes to preferentially destabilize misattached kinetochores.
