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

Centrosome amplification is a hallmark of colorectal cancer (CRC), yet its molecular origins remain elusive. Protein Kinase A (PKA), anchored to centrosomes, regulates a number of mitotic processes, though its role in maintaining centrosome integrity remains poorly understood. Here, we show that PKA is central to a signaling cascade involving the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor GPER1, which is essential for centrosome integrity in colon cancer cells. Activation of GPER1 by estrogens or a specific agonist triggers Gαs protein-mediated stimulation of adenylyl cyclase, elevating cAMP levels and thereby increasing PKA activity. Excessive activation of GPER1-PKA leads to extra centrosomes with enlarged, displaced Centrin-2 foci. Recruited to centrosomes by AKAP450, PKA phosphorylates Centrin-2, predominantly at aberrant centrioles and unexpectedly even outside of mitosis. These findings reveal a GPER1-PKA-Centrin signaling axis in CRC cells that regulates centrosome numbers and centriole integrity, shedding light on centrosome abnormalities that drive neoplastic transformation and tumor progression.
