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

backgroundBoth mTOR and Skp2 play critical roles in gastric cancer (GC) tumorigenesis. However, potential mechanisms for the association between these two proteins remains unidentified.

methodsThe regulatory role for mTORC1 in Skp2 stability was tested using ubiquitination assay. The functions of p-Skp2 (phosphorylation of Skp2) were studied in vitro and in vivo. Expression of p-Skp2 and p-mTOR (phosphorylation of mTOR) were shown in GC lines and in 169 human primary GC tissues.

resultsmTORC1 can directly interact with Skp2 and phosphorylated Skp2 at Ser64, which sequentially protect Skp2 from ubiquitination and degradation. Furthermore, the phospho-deficient p-Skp2 (S64) mutant significantly suppresses GC cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. The expression of p-Skp2 was associated with p-mTOR in GC cell lines and tissues. Interestingly, the combination of p-Skp2 and p-mTOR was a better predictor of survival than either factor alone.

conclusionThe mTORC1 function to regulate Skp2 by Ser64 phosphorylation may represent an oncogenic event in GC tumorigenesis. Moreover, our study also indicates that Skp2 Ser64 expression is a potential indicator in the treatment of GC patients using mTORC1 inhibitor.
