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

Proteins that bind to microtubule are important for cell cycle, and some of these proteins show oncogenic characteristics with mechanisms not fully understood. Herein we demonstrate overexpression of protein regulator of cytokinesis 1 (PRC1), a microtubule-associated regulator of mitosis, in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Moreover, upregulated PRC1 is associated with lower survival rates of HCC patients. Mechanistically, reducing PRC1 blocks mitotic exit of HCC cells at telophase in a spindle assembly checkpoint independent manner, and acts synergistically with microtubule-associated agents (MTAs) to suppress p53-wt or p53-null HCC cells in a p53- or p14ARF-dependent manner; while overexpressing PRC1 increases the resistance of HCC to taxol. A combined treatment of taxol/shPRC1 results in 90% suppression of tumor growth in subcutaneous HCC xenograft models. In orthotopic xenograft mice, reducing PRC1 significantly alleviates HCC development and hepatic injury. Together, our results suggest a dual-mitotic suppression approach against HCC by combining MTAs with cytokinesis inhibition, which blocks mitosis at both metaphase and telophase.
