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

Cyclin-dependent protein kinase 16 (CDK16) regulates both physiological and pathological processes, including autophagy, spermatogenesis and cancer. Unlike other CDKs, CDK16 is regulated by an unclear mechanism involving phosphorylated cyclin Y (CCNY) in complex with 14-3-3 proteins rather than CCNY alone. The present study aims at elucidating this mechanism by structurally characterizing CDK16 in complex with CCNY and 14-3-3 using several biophysical techniques. As shown by cryo-EM analysis and hydrogen/deuterium exchange coupled to mass spectrometry, 14-3-3 binding modulates the conformation of a key moiety of the CDK binding surface of CCNY, thereby enabling CDK16 activation. CDK16 interacts with the cyclin box of CCNY, while 14-3-3 provides additional contacts, including with the activation segment of CDK16. CDK16 activation also requires interactions of CCNY with the N-terminal extension of CDK16. These findings not only clarify the role of CCNY and 14-3-3 in CDK16 activation but also highlight the potential of targeting CDK16 protein-protein interactions for cancer therapy.
