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

Loss of function mutations in the E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM37 result in MULIBREY nanism, a disease characterized by impaired organ growth and a high propensity to develop different tumor types. Additionally, increased copy number of TRIM37 is a feature of some breast cancers and neuroblastomas. The molecular role played by TRIM37 in such loss and gain of function conditions has been a focus of research in the last decade, which led notably to the identification of critical roles of TRIM37 in centrosome biology. Specifically, deletion of TRIM37 results in the formation of aberrant centrosomal proteins assemblies, including Centrobin-PLK4 assemblies, which can act as extra MTOCs, thus resulting in defective chromosome segregation. Additionally, TRIM37 overexpression targets the centrosomal protein CEP192 for degradation, thereby preventing centrosome maturation and increasing the frequency of mitotic errors. Interestingly, increased TRIM37 protein levels sensitize cells to the PLK4 inhibitor centrinone. In this review, we cover the emerging roles of TRIM37 in centrosome biology and discuss how this knowledge may lead to new therapeutic strategies to target specific cancer cells.
