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

Colon cancer is one of the most fatal cancers in the United States, and is characterized by the presence of chromosomal instability (CIN), causes of which are largely unclear. Emerging evidence indicates that abnormal spindle geometry and supernumerary centrosomes lead to CIN in cells. However, if and how spindle geometry defects and centrosomes amplification occur in colon cancer remains unknown. Here we show that decrease in the cell cycle regulatory protein, cyclin A2, induces spindle geometry defects in colon cancer cells. In mechanistic studies, we found that cyclin A2 is located at the centrosomes, and its depletion reduces phosphorylation of EG5, which is important for centrosome localization and movement of duplicated centrosomes to opposite poles. We also found that cyclin A2 silencing leads to centrosome amplification in the cells. Collectively, these findings demonstrate previously unrecognized role for cyclin A2 in preventing centrosomal defects in colon cancer cells and provide insights into mechanisms that may potentially cause CIN in these tumors.
