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

Tropomyosin (TM) family of cytoskeletal proteins is implicated in stabilizing actin microfilaments. Many TM isoforms, including tropomyosin-1 (TM1), are down-regulated in transformed cells. Previously we demonstrated that TM1 is a suppressor of the malignant transformation, and that TM1 reorganizes microfilaments in the transformed cells. To investigate how TM1 induces microfilament organization in transformed cells, we utilized ras-transformed NIH3T3 (DT) cells, and those transduced to express TM1, and/or TM2. Enhanced expression of TM1 alone, but not TM2, results in re-emergence of microfilaments; TM1, together with TM2 remarkably improves microfilament architecture. TM1 induced cytoskeletal reorganization involves an enhanced expression of caldesmon, but not vinculin, alpha-actinin, or gelsolin. In addition, TM1-induced cytoskeletal reorganization and the revertant phenotype appears to involve re-activation of RhoA controlled pathways in DT cells. RhoA expression, which is suppressed in DT cells, is significantly increased in TM1-expressing cells, without detectable changes in the expression of Rac or Cdc42. Furthermore, expression of a dominant negative Rho kinase, or treatment with Y-27632 disassembled microfilaments in normal NIH3T3 and in TM1 expressing cells. These data suggest that reactivation of Rho kinase directed pathways are critical for TM1-mediated microfilament assemblies.
