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

A 19 kDa protein was identified to associate with the Dbl oncogene homology domain of Sos1 (Sos-DH) and was purified from rat brains by GST-Sos-DH affinity chromatography. Peptide sequencing revealed that the protein is identical to light chain 3 (LC3), a microtubule-associated protein. LC3 coimmunoprecipitated with Sos1, and GST-LC3 was capable of forming complexes with Sos1 in in vitro GST-pull down assay. Furthermore, LC3 was colocalized with Sos1 in cells, as determined by immunohistochemistry. While Sos1 stimulated the guanine nucleotide exchange reaction on Rac1, LC3 suppressed the ability of Sos1 to activate Rac1 in in vitro experiments using COS cell lysates. Consistent with this, overexpression of LC3 decreased the level of active GTP-bound Rac1 in COS cells. Sos1 expression induced membrane ruffling, a downstream target for Rac1, but LC3 expression inhibited this biological effect of Sos1. These findings suggest that LC3 interacts with Sos1 and thereby negatively regulates the Sos1-dependent Rac1 activation leading to membrane ruffling.
