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

Substrate-bound FGF2 promotes endothelial cell adhesion by interacting with alpha(v)beta(3) integrin. Here, endothelial GM7373 cells spread and organize focal adhesion plaques on immobilized FGF2, fibronectin (FN), and vitronectin (VN). alpha(v)beta(3) integrin, paxillin, focal adhesion kinase, vinculin and pp60(src) localize in cell-substratum contact sites on FGF2, FN or VN. However, only immobilized FGF2 induces a long-lasting activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases(1/2) (ERK(1/2)) and cell proliferation that was inhibited by the ERK(1/2) inhibitor PD 098059 and the tyrosine kinase (TK) inhibitor tyrphostin 23, pointing to the engagement of FGF receptor (FGFR) at the basal side of the cell. To assess this hypothesis, GM7373 cells were transfected with a dominant negative TK(-)-DeltaFGFR1 mutant (GM7373-DeltaFGFR1 cells) or with the full-length receptor (GM7373-FGFR1 cells). Both transfectants adhere and spread on FGF2 but GM7373-DeltaFGFR1 cells do not proliferate. Also, parental and GM7373-FGFR1 cells, but not GM7373-DeltaFGFR1 cells, undergo morphological changes and increased motility on FGF2-coated plastic. Finally, FGFR1, but not TK(-)-DeltaFGFR1, localizes in cell adhesion contacts on immobilized FGF2. In conclusion, substrate-bound FGF2 induces endothelial cell proliferation, motility, and the recruitment of FGFR1 in cell-substratum contacts. This may contribute to the cross talk among intracellular signaling pathways activated by FGFR1 and alpha(v)beta(3) integrin in endothelial cells.
