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

Budding uninhibited by benzimidazoles 1 (BUB1) is a nuclear serine/threonine protein kinase that ensures proper chromosome segregation before mitosis. We report that BUB1 plays an unexpected cytoplasmic role in restraining DNA damage-induced accumulation of cytoplasmic dsRNA and the ensuing immune response. Tumors deficient in BUB1 were sensitive to radiotherapy in a CD8 T cell-dependent manner. We found increased immune cell infiltration accompanied by elevated type I interferon production from irradiated BUB1-deficient cells caused by enhanced cytoplasmic dsRNA accumulation and activation of the MDA5/MAVS dsRNA-sensing pathway. Mechanistically, we found that after radiation exposure, BUB1 underwent nucleus-to-cytoplasm migration, where it bound and phosphorylated the poly(A)-binding protein PABPC1, which was degraded together with its associated messenger RNAs stored in the stress granules, thereby preventing dsRNA accumulation and activation of the innate immune response.
