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

Establishing the correct kinetochore-microtubule attachment is crucial for faithful chromosome segregation. The kinetochore has various regulatory mechanisms for establishing correct bipolar attachment. However, how the regulations are coupled is not fully understood. Here, we demonstrate a regulatory loop between the kinetochore protein CENP-C and Aurora B kinase, which is critical for the error correction of kinetochore-microtubule attachment. This regulatory loop is mediated through the binding of CENP-C to the outer kinetochore Mis12 complex (Mis12C). Although the Mis12C-binding region of CENP-C is dispensable for mouse development and proliferation in human RPE-1 cells, those cells lacking this region display increased mitotic defects. The CENP-C-Mis12C interaction facilitates the centromeric recruitment of Aurora B and the mitotic error correction in human cells. Given that Aurora B reinforces the CENP-C-Mis12C interaction, our findings reveal a positive regulatory loop between Aurora B recruitment and the CENP-C-Mis12C interaction, which ensures chromosome biorientation for accurate chromosome segregation.
