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

Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) is an important regulator of epidermal homeostasis and repair. Therefore, the identification of KGF target genes in keratinocytes should contribute to our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying these processes. In a search for KGF-regulated genes, we identified the gene encoding the nucleoside diphosphate kinase NM23-H1. Apart from a housekeeping function, NM23 proteins are involved in the regulation of many cellular processes as well as in tumor metastasis, but their functions in epidermal homeostasis and repair are largely unknown. Here, we show a high expression of NM23-H1 and NM23-H2 in the KGF-responsive keratinocytes of the hyperproliferative epidermis of mouse skin wounds and of patients suffering from the skin disease psoriasis. To determine if this overexpression is functionally important, we generated HaCaT keratinocyte cell lines overexpressing NM23-H1 and/or -H2. Whereas the enhanced levels of NM23 did not affect cell proliferation in monoculture, NM23-H2 and double transfectants but not NM23-H1 transfectants formed a strongly hyperthickened epithelium in three-dimensional organotypic cultures. The abnormal epithelial morphology resulted from enhanced proliferation, reduced apoptosis and alterations in the differentiation pattern. These findings suggest that epidermal homeostasis depends on a tight regulation of the levels of NM23 isoforms.
