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

GLI1 is a key downstream transcription effector of the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway that is involved in promoting cell growth, differentiation and tissue patterning in embryonic development. GLI1 over-activation and its nuclear localization has also been linked to the increased aggressiveness of a number of cancers. It has previously been demonstrated that DYRK1A (dual-specificity tyrosine-regulated kinase 1A) can phosphorylate GLI1 and promote GLI1 nuclear localization and its transcriptional activity. Utilizing recombinant human GLI1 and DYRK1A proteins and phospho-peptide mass spectrometry, we demonstrated that GLI1 is phosphorylated by DYRK1A at Ser408, a phospho-site that falls within the putative nuclear localization sequence (NLS) of GLI1, suggesting a possible mechanistic role in modulating its translocation. Further, we showed that the Ser408 site on GLI1 was not phosphorylated in the presence of the selective DYRK1A inhibitor harmine. The data described herein provide the first identification of a DYRK1A-mediated site of phosphorylation on GLI1 within its NLS and may serve as a valuable mechanism for further understanding Hh signaling modulation.
