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

ARHGAP35, which encodes p190A RhoGAP (p190A), is a major cancer gene. p190A is a tumor suppressor that activates the Hippo pathway. p190A was originally cloned via direct binding to p120 RasGAP (RasGAP). Here, we determine that interaction of p190A with the tight-junction-associated protein ZO-2 is dependent on RasGAP. We establish that both RasGAP and ZO-2 are necessary for p190A to activate large tumor-suppressor (LATS) kinases, elicit mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition, promote contact inhibition of cell proliferation, and suppress tumorigenesis. Moreover, RasGAP and ZO-2 are required for transcriptional modulation by p190A. Finally, we demonstrate that low ARHGAP35 expression is associated with shorter survival in patients with high, but not low, transcript levels of TJP2 encoding ZO-2. Hence, we define a tumor-suppressor interactome of p190A that includes ZO-2, an established constituent of the Hippo pathway, and RasGAP, which, despite strong association with Ras signaling, is essential for p190A to activate LATS kinases.
