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 spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) prevents sister chromatids separation until all chromosomes are properly attached to spindle microtubules and bi-oriented. SAC controls the metaphase-to-anaphase transition by inhibiting the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C). A critical step in this process is the recruitment of the Mad1-Mad2 complex to unattached kinetochores mediated by the KBB pathway (KNL1-Bub3-Bub1) and the RZZ pathway (Rod-Zw10-Zwilch). Here, we show that hSpindly contributes to the regulation of Mad1-Mad2 recruitment through the RZZ pathway. We demonstrate that hSpindly is a dynamic protein that oligomerizes at unattached kinetochores, and we identify threonine 552 as a key residue controlling its mobility and function. A non-phosphorylatable mutant (T552A) displays reduced dynamics at kinetochores, impairs SAC signaling, and increases cellular resistance to antimitotic drugs. Altogether, our findings identify hSpindly as a dynamic regulator of SAC signaling and potential therapeutic target for overcoming resistance to mitotic inhibitors.
