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 p27/kip1 (p27) tumor suppressor inhibits cyclin/cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) complexes and halts cell cycle progression. p27 further regulates invasion and migration in cancer cells, suggesting p27 also functions as an oncoprotein. Using a human osteosarcoma tissue microarray we identified high expression of cytoplasmic p27 in metastatic tumors. We demonstrated a positive correlation between mRNA and protein expression of p27 and expression of key metastatic markers, vimentin, snail-2, β-catenin and stathmin-1 (STMN1) in patient tumors. Our results show that T198 phosphorylation of p27 controls the interaction between p27 and STMN1 that regulates microtubule stabilization and the invasion and migration of osteosarcoma cells. We found that anti-tumoral activity of gemcitabine and the Wee1 kinase inhibitor AZD1775 in osteosarcoma cells, was dependent on drug sequencing that relied on p27 stabilization. Gemcitabine activated caspase-3 and synergized with AZD1775 through caspase-mediated cleavage of p27, that dissociated from STMN1 and effectively induced apoptosis. Further, blockage of nuclear export of p27 by inhibition of Exportin-1 (XPO1) promoted growth arrest, demonstrating that the biological effects of agents relied on the expression and localization of p27. Together, these data provide a rationale for combining chemotherapy with agents that promote p27 tumor suppressor activity for the treatment of osteosarcoma.
