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

VE-cadherin is the essential adhesion molecule in endothelial adherens junctions, and the regulation of protein tyrosine phosphorylation is thought to be important for the control of adherens junction integrity. We show here that VE-PTP (vascular endothelial protein tyrosine phosphatase), an endothelial receptor-type phosphatase, co-precipitates with VE-cadherin, but not with beta-catenin, from cell lysates of transfected COS-7 cells and of endothelial cells. Co-precipitation of VE-cadherin and VE-PTP required the most membrane-proximal extracellular domains of each protein. Expression of VE-PTP in triple-transfected COS-7 cells and in CHO cells reversed the tyrosine phosphorylation of VE-cadherin elicited by vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2). Expression of VE-PTP under an inducible promotor in CHO cells transfected with VE-cadherin and VEGFR-2 increased the VE-cadherin-mediated barrier integrity of a cellular monolayer. Surprisingly, a catalytically inactive mutant form of VE-PTP had the same effect on VE-cadherin phosphorylation and cell layer permeability. Thus, VE-PTP is a transmembrane binding partner of VE-cadherin that associates through an extracellular domain and reduces the tyrosine phosphorylation of VE-cadherin and cell layer permeability independently of its enzymatic activity.
