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

Cells respond to DNA damage by activating a complex array of signaling networks, which include the AMPK and mTOR pathways. After DNA double-strand breakage, ATM, a core component of the DNA repair system, activates the AMPK-TSC2 pathway, leading to the inhibition of the mTOR cascade. Recently, we showed that both AMPK and mTOR interact with SMYD3, a methyltransferase involved in DNA damage response. In this study, through extensive molecular characterization of gastrointestinal and breast cancer cells, we found that SMYD3 is part of a multiprotein complex that is involved in DNA damage response and also comprises AMPK and mTOR. In particular, upon exposure to the double-strand break-inducing agent neocarzinostatin, SMYD3 pharmacological inhibition suppressed AMPK cascade activation and thereby promoted the mTOR pathway, which reveals the central role played by SMYD3 in the modulation of AMPK-mTOR signaling balance during cancer cell response to DNA double-strand breaks. Moreover, we found that SMYD3 can methylate AMPK at the evolutionarily conserved residues Lys411 and Lys424. Overall, our data revealed that SMYD3 can act as a bridge between the AMPK and mTOR pathways upon neocarzinostatin-induced DNA damage in gastrointestinal and breast cancer cells.
