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

Cadherins are a family of intercellular adhesion receptors. Produced as inactive precursors, they become functional adhesion molecules after proteolytic cleavage by subtilisin-like pro-protein convertases (PCs). Owing to their activation and assembly into multiprotein adhesion complexes at sites of cell contacts, adhesion-competent cadherins are prerequisite for tissue integrity. In recent years evidence has accumulated that intercellular junctions not only provide mechanical linkage, but in addition are potent modulators of signalling cascades. This infers a biological role to intercellular adhesion complexes that is significantly more complex and powerful. Currently, the broad implications of disturbances in somatic tissue adhesion components are only just beginning to emerge. Prominent examples of adhesion defects include autoimmune diseases, or tumour invasion and metastasis and malignant transformation. This review reports on our current knowledge of cadherin function and their maturation by pro-protein convertases, and puts special emphasis on the consequences of pro-protein convertase inhibition for epithelial tissue homeostasis.
