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

Human integrin alpha5 was transfected into the integrin alpha5/beta1-negative intestinal epithelial cell line Caco-2 to study EGF receptor (EGFR) and integrin alpha5/beta1 signaling interactions involved in epithelial cell proliferation. On uncoated or fibronectin-coated plastic, the integrin alpha5 and control (vector only) transfectants grew at similar rates. In the presence of the EGFR antagonistic mAb 225, the integrin alpha5 transfectants and controls were significantly growth inhibited on plastic. However, when cultured on fibronectin, the integrin alpha5 transfectants were not growth inhibited by mAb 225. The reversal of mAb 225-mediated growth inhibition on fibronectin for the integrin alpha5 transfectants correlated with activation of the EGFR, activation of MAPK, and expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen. EGFR kinase activity was necessary for both MAPK activation and integrin alpha5/beta1-mediated cell proliferation. Although EGFR activation occurred when either the integrin alpha5-transfected or control cells were cultured on fibronectin, coprecipitation of the EGFR with SHC could be demonstrated only in the integrin alpha5-transfected cells. These results suggest that integrin alpha5/beta1 mediates fibronectin-induced epithelial cell proliferation through activation of the EGFR.
