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 members of the plakin family of proteins serve as epidermal cytolinkers and components of cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion complexes, i.e., desmosomes and hemidesmosomes, respectively. Periplakin is a recently characterized member of this family. Human and mouse periplakin genomic loci are conserved, and the proteins are highly homologous, suggesting a role for periplakin in vertebrate physiology. In order to evaluate the functional role of periplakin, we generated periplakin null mice through targeted homologous recombination of mouse embryonic stem cells, followed by development of Ppl(-/-) mice. Mice homozygous for the targeted allele were born in the expected Mendelian frequency, developed normally, possessed grossly normal epidermis and hair, and were healthy and fertile. The epidermal barrier appeared to develop normally during fetal days E15.5 to E16.5, and the cornified envelope and desmosomes in the newborn mice were ultrastructurally normal. No compensatory increase in the expression of other epithelial proteins was detected in the neonatal mouse epidermis lacking periplakin. Consequently, the primary role of periplakin may not relate to the physiology of the cornified cell envelope in epidermal keratinocytes but may reside in the challenges, which normal laboratory mice do not encounter.
