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.
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
Centromeric localization of evolutionarily conserved CENP-A (Cse4 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is essential for chromosomal stability. Mislocalization of overexpressed CENP-A to noncentromeric regions contributes to chromosomal instability in yeasts, flies, and humans. Overexpression and mislocalization of CENP-A observed in many cancers are associated with poor prognosis. Previous studies have shown that F-box proteins, Cdc4 and Met30 of the Skp, Cullin, F-box ubiquitin ligase cooperatively regulate proteolysis of Cse4 to prevent Cse4 mislocalization and chromosomal instability under normal physiological conditions. Mck1-mediated phosphorylation of Skp, Cullin, F-box-Cdc4 substrates such as Cdc6 and Rcn1 enhances the interaction of the substrates with Cdc4. Here, we report that Mck1 interacts with Cse4, and Mck1-mediated proteolysis of Cse4 prevents Cse4 mislocalization for chromosomal stability. Our results showed that mck1Δ strain overexpressing CSE4 (GAL-CSE4) exhibits lethality, defects in ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis of Cse4, mislocalization of Cse4, and reduced Cse4-Cdc4 interaction. Strain expressing GAL-cse4-3A with mutations in three potential Mck1 phosphorylation consensus sites (S10, S16, and T166) also exhibits growth defects, increased stability with mislocalization of Cse4-3A, chromosomal instability, and reduced interaction with Cdc4. Constitutive expression of histone H3 (Δ16H3) suppresses the chromosomal instability phenotype of GAL-cse4-3A strain, suggesting that the chromosomal instability phenotype is linked to Cse4-3A mislocalization. We conclude that Mck1 and its three potential phosphorylation sites on Cse4 promote Cse4-Cdc4 interaction and this contributes to ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis of Cse4 preventing its mislocalization and chromosomal instability. These studies advance our understanding of pathways that regulate cellular levels of CENP-A to prevent mislocalization of CENP-A in human cancers.
