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 eukaryotic cell cycle involves a highly orchestrated series of events in which the cellular genome is replicated during a synthesis (S) phase and each of the two resulting copies are segregated properly during mitosis (M). Host cell factor-1 (HCF-1) is a transcriptional co-regulator that is essential for and has been implicated in basic cellular processes, such as transcriptional regulation and cell cycle progression. Although a series of HCF-1 transcriptional targets have been identified, few functional clues have been provided, especially for chromosome segregation. Our results showed that HCF-1 activated CDC42 expression by binding to the -881 to -575 region upstream of the CDC42 transcription start site, and the regulation of CDC42 expression by HCF-1 was correlated with cell cycle progression. The overexpression of a spontaneously cycling and constitutively active CDC42 mutant (CDC42F28L) rescued G1 phase delay and multinucleate defects in mitosis upon the loss of HCF-1. Therefore, these results establish that HCF-1 ensures proper cell cycle progression by regulating the expression of CDC42, which indicates a possible mechanism of cell cycle coordination and the regulation mode of typical Rho GTPases.
