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

Restricting the localization of CENP-A (Cse4 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae) to centromeres prevents chromosomal instability (CIN). Mislocalization of overexpressed CENP-A to non-centromeric chromatin contributes to CIN in budding and fission yeasts, flies, and humans. Overexpression and mislocalization of CENP-A is observed in cancers and is associated with increased invasiveness. Mechanisms that remove mislocalized CENP-A and target it for degradation have not been defined. Here, we report that Cdc48 and its cofactors Ufd1 and Npl4 facilitate the removal of mislocalized Cse4 from non-centromeric chromatin. Defects in removal of mislocalized Cse4 contribute to lethality of overexpressed Cse4 in cdc48,ufd1 andnpl4 mutants. High levels of polyubiquitinated Cse4 and mislocalization of Cse4 are observed in cdc48-3, ufd1-2 and npl4-1mutants even under normal physiological conditions, thereby defining polyubiquitinated Cse4 as the substrate of the ubiquitin directed segregase Cdc48Ufd1/Npl4. Accordingly, Npl4, the ubiquitin binding receptor, associates with mislocalized Cse4, and this interaction is dependent on Psh1-mediated polyubiquitination of Cse4. In summary, we provide the first evidence for a mechanism that facilitates the removal of polyubiquitinated and mislocalized Cse4 from non-centromeric chromatin. Given the conservation of Cdc48Ufd1/Npl4 in humans, it is likely that defects in such pathways may contribute to CIN in human cancers.
