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 human transfer RNA methyltransferase 9-like gene (TRM9L, also known as KIAA1456) encodes a negative regulator of tumor growth that is frequently silenced in many forms of cancer. While TRM9L can inhibit tumor cell growth in vivo, the molecular mechanisms underlying the tumor inhibition activity of TRM9L are unknown. We show that oxidative stress induces the rapid and dose-dependent phosphorylation of TRM9L within an intrinsically disordered domain that is necessary for tumor growth suppression. Multiple serine residues are hyperphosphorylated in response to oxidative stress. Using a chemical genetic approach, we identified a key serine residue in TRM9L that undergoes hyperphosphorylation downstream of the oxidative stress-activated MEK (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase)-ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase)-RSK (ribosomal protein S6 kinase) signaling cascade. Moreover, we found that phosphorylated TRM9L interacts with the 14-3-3 family of proteins, providing a link between oxidative stress and downstream cellular events involved in cell cycle control and proliferation. Mutation of the serine residues required for TRM9L hyperphosphorylation and 14-3-3 binding abolished the tumor inhibition activity of TRM9L. Our results uncover TRM9L as a key downstream effector of the ERK signaling pathway and elucidate a phospho-signaling regulatory mechanism underlying the tumor inhibition activity of TRM9L.
