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

γ-Tubulin ring complexes (γTuRCs) initiate microtubule growth and mediate microtubule attachment at microtubule-organizing centers, such as centrosomes and the Golgi complex. However, the mechanisms that control γTuRC-mediated microtubule nucleation have remained mostly unknown. Here, we show that the DNA polymerase δ catalytic subunit (PolD1) binds directly to γTuRCs and potently inhibits γTuRC-mediated microtubule nucleation. Whereas PolD1 depletion through RNA interference does not influence centrosome-based microtubule growth, the depletion augments microtubule nucleation at the Golgi complex. Conversely, PolD1 overexpression inhibits Golgi-based microtubule nucleation. Golgi-derived microtubules are required for the assembly and maintenance of the proper Golgi structure, and we found that alteration of PolD1 levels affects Golgi structural organization. Moreover, suppression of PolD1 expression impairs Golgi reassembly after nocodazole-induced disassembly and causes defects in Golgi reorientation and directional cell migration. Collectively, these results reveal a mechanism that controls noncentrosomal γTuRC activity and regulates the organization of Golgi-derived microtubules.Microtubule organization requires γ-tubulin ring complexes (γTuRCs), but the mechanisms that control γTuRC-mediated microtubule nucleation are unclear. Here the authors show that the DNA polymerase δ catalytic subunit controls noncentrosomal γTuRC activity and regulates the organization of Golgi-derived microtubules.
