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

Primary cilia are microtubule-based organelles that play important roles in development and tissue homeostasis. Tau-tubulin kinase-2 (TTBK2) is genetically linked to spinocerebellar ataxia type 11, and its kinase activity is crucial for ciliogenesis. Although it has been shown that TTBK2 is recruited to the centriole by distal appendage protein CEP164, little is known about TTBK2 substrates associated with its role in ciliogenesis. Here, we perform superresolution microscopy and discover that serum starvation results in TTBK2 redistribution from the periphery toward the root of distal appendages. Our biochemical analyses uncover CEP83 as a bona fide TTBK2 substrate with four phosphorylation sites characterized. We also demonstrate that CEP164-dependent TTBK2 recruitment to distal appendages is required for subsequent CEP83 phosphorylation. Specifically, TTBK2-dependent CEP83 phosphorylation is important for early ciliogenesis steps, including ciliary vesicle docking and CP110 removal. In summary, our results reveal a molecular mechanism of kinase regulation in ciliogenesis and identify CEP83 as a key substrate of TTBK2 during cilia initiation.
