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

Integrins are a large family of heterodimeric transmembrane receptors for extracellular matrix proteins. As well as mediating cell attachment and the bulk of force transduction from the cytoskeleton, they convey signals from the extracellular matrix to the cell. alpha1beta1 and alpha2beta1 are the major collagen receptors in this family. a1beta1 provides negative feedback on collagen synthesis, whereas alpha2beta1 stimulates the synthesis of matrix metalloproteases. Each receptor modulates the signaling activity of the other to coordinate matrix synthesis and remodeling. Expression of both is reduced in scleroderma despite a paracrine environment which would be expected to upregulate them. Deficiencies in the integrins correlate with upregulated collagen synthesis and downregulated metalloprotease synthesis seen during the disease.
