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

The SACK1D/FAM83D-CK1α complex assembles at the mitotic spindle to orchestrate proper spindle positioning and error-free progression through mitosis. The full molecular picture of how this complex assembles and disassembles over the cell division cycle remains to be fully defined. Here, we show that hyaluronan-mediated motility receptor (HMMR) is critical for SACK1D-CK1α complex formation at the spindle, co-localizes with the SACK1D-CK1α complex throughout mitosis, and is necessary for correct mitotic spindle alignment. We find that HMMR binds to the C-terminal α-helix of SACK1D, and this helix is also important for the mitotic interaction between SACK1D and CK1α. We demonstrate that HMMR binding stabilizes SACK1D. We map the mitotic hyperphosphorylation sites on SACK1D and show that this hyperphosphorylation signals the destruction of SACK1D upon mitotic exit. The destruction also requires the C-terminal α-helix of SACK1D, suggesting that hyperphosphorylation of SACK1D in mitosis potentially exposes the C-terminal degron sequences resident on SACK1D. This study provides key molecular insights into the assembly and fate of the HMMR-SACK1D-CK1α complex at the mitotic spindle.
