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

Secreted glycoproteins serve a variety of functions related to cell-cell communication in developmental systems. We cloned LGL1, a novel glucocorticoid-inducible gene in foetal lung, and described its temporal and spatial localization in the rat. Disruption of foetal mesenchyme-specific LGL1 expression using antisense oligodeoxynucleotides, which was associated with a 50% decrease in lgl1 protein levels, inhibited airway epithelial branching in foetal rat gestational day 13 lung buds in explant culture. These findings suggested that lgl1 functions as a secreted signalling molecule. We now provide evidence supporting a role for lgl1 in mesenchymal-epithelial interactions that govern lung organogenesis. Lgl1 is a secreted glycoprotein with a conserved N-terminal secretory signal peptide. Using dual immunofluorescence, intracellular lgl1 was found to co-localize with markers of the Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum, consistent with its association with secretory vesicles. Using pulse-chase studies, we show that lgl1 is a stable protein with a half-life of 11.5 h. Furthermore, at gestational days 20 and 21 (term=22), foetal distal lung epithelial cells import lgl1 protein. Taken together, our findings support distinct roles for lgl1 as a mediator of glucocorticoid-induced mesenchymal-epithelial interactions in early and late foetal lung organogenesis.
