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

CrkII is an adaptor protein possessing oncogenic potential despite the lack of an enzymatic domain. We investigated here the physiological functions of CrkII by studying its ability to induce anchorage-independent cell growth. We found that inhibition or null mutation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) blocked the anchorage-independent growth induced by CrkII overexpression, indicating that FAK is a critical determinant of the transforming activity of CrkII. CrkII overexpression enhanced the autophosphorylation of FAK at Tyr-397 and tyrosine phosphorylation of p130(Cas) (Crk-associated substrate, Cas) upon stimulation of integrin by fibronectin. Moreover, the constitutive phosphorylation of FAK and Cas was observed in CrkII-overexpressing cells, even when they were in the suspended condition, consistent with the ability of CrkII to induce anchorage-independent growth. Using Cas-deficient cells, we showed Cas function to be essential for both the CrkII-induced phosphorylation of FAK (Tyr-397) and anchorage-independent cell growth. The CrkII-induced FAK autophosphorylation depended upon CrkII-Cas complex formation. Furthermore, we showed that CrkII knockdown resulted in defects in integrin-mediated events, such as cell spreading, haptotactic migration, and FAK autophosphorylation. The integrin-mediated FAK autophosphorylation was also reduced in Cas-deficient cells. These results suggest that the CrkII-Cas complex functions in integrin-mediated FAK activation signaling. Our findings show the importance of CrkII in integrin-mediated events, acting upstream of FAK to affect the activation of this kinase, which appears to have a central role in this pathway.
