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

Aurora kinases are serine/threonine kinases required for cell proliferation and are overexpressed in many human cancers. Targeting Aurora kinases has been a therapeutic strategy in cancer treatment. Here, we attempted to identify a deubiquitinase (DUB) that regulates Aurora kinase A (Aurora-A) protein stability and/or kinase activity as a potential cancer therapeutic target. Through pull-down assays with the human DUB library, we identified OTUD6A as an Aurora-A-specific DUB. OTUD6A interacts with Aurora-A through OTU and kinase domains, respectively, and deubiquitinates Aurora-A. Notably, OTUD6A promotes the protein half-life of Aurora-A and activates Aurora-A by increasing phosphorylation at threonine 288 of Aurora-A. From qPCR screening, we identified and validated that the cancer gene
