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 machinery for cell locomotion is based in a network of polymerized actin filaments supporting the peripheral cytoplasm. This network or 'gel' consists of actin filaments in a variety of configurations, including cables, loose bundles, and branching arrays; all formed by the interaction of actin-associated proteins with actin filaments. For cell locomotion to occur, this network must be reversibly disassembled or 'solated' to allow protrusion, then re-assembled to stabilize the resulting extension. Thus, proteins to promote both 'solation' and 'gelation' of actin are important for efficient cell locomotion. Because of their distribution, control, and in vitro effects on actin filaments, two such proteins, gelsolin and actin-binding protein (ABP) should play especially important roles in cell motility. Support for this premise is found in in vivo studies of mouse kidney fibroblasts which demonstrated increased translocational locomotion after cytoplasmic gelsolin expression was increased genetically and in melanoma cells missing actin-binding protein which behave as expected for a cell unable to achieve efficient actin gelation. Since malignant transformation is known to affect the expression and distribution of several of these actin structural proteins, including gelsolin, further investigations of the role these proteins play in cell motility will be important to the determination of tumor cell motility and hence metastatic propensity.
