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

Background & Aims: Mcl-1, an antiapoptotic protein overexpressed in many tumours, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), represents a promising target for cancer treatment. Although Mcl-1 non-apoptotic roles might critically influence the therapeutic potential of Mcl-1 inhibitors, these functions remain poorly understood. We aimed to investigate the effects of hepatic Mcl-1 deficiency (Mcl-1 Methods: Livers of young Mcl-1 Results: In young mice, Mcl-1 deficiency leads to nuclear polyploidy and to high rates of mitotic errors with abnormal spindle figures and chromosome mis-segregation along with a prolonged spindle assembly checkpoint activation signature. Chromosomal instability and altered ploidy profile are observed in Mcl-1 Conclusions: Our study suggests novel non-apoptotic effects of Mcl-1 deficiency on nuclear ploidy, mitotic regulation, and chromosomal segregation in hepatocytes Impact and implications: Although Mcl-1 inhibitors represent promising hepatocellular carcinoma treatment, the still poorly understood non-apoptotic roles of Mcl-1 might compromise their successful clinical application. Our study shows that Mcl-1 deficiency leads to nuclear polyploidy, mitotic errors, and aberrant chromosomal segregation in hepatocytes
