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 cytoskeletal protein talin, which is thought to couple integrins to F-actin, contains three binding sites (VBS1-VBS3) for vinculin, a protein implicated in the negative regulation of cell motility and whose activity is modulated by an intramolecular interaction between the vinculin head (Vh) and vinculin tail (Vt) domains. In the present study we show that recombinant talin polypeptides containing the three VBSs (VBS1, residues 498-636; VBS2, residues 727-965; and VBS3, residues 1943-2157) each bind tightly to the same or overlapping sites within vinculin(1-258). A short synthetic talin VBS3 peptide (residues 1944-1969) was sufficient to inhibit binding of a (125)I-labelled talin VBS3 polypeptide to vinculin(1-258), and NMR spectroscopy confirmed that this peptide forms a 1:1 complex in slow exchange with vinculin(1-258). Binding of the (125)I-labelled VBS3 polypeptide was markedly temperature dependent, but was not inhibited by 1 M salt or 10% (v/v) 2-methyl-2-propanol. Attempts to further define the talin-binding site within vinculin(1-258) using a gel-blot assay were unsuccessful, but near maximal talin-binding activity was retained by a construct spanning vinculin residues 1-131 in a yeast two-hybrid assay. Interestingly, the talin VBS3 polypeptide was a potent inhibitor of the Vh-Vt interaction, and the VBS3 synthetic peptide was able to expose the actin-binding site in intact vinculin, which is otherwise masked by the Vh-Vt interaction. The results suggest that under certain conditions, talin may be an effective activator of vinculin.
