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

beta-Catenin, a key component of the canonical Wnt pathway, is also regulated by tyrosine phosphorylation that regulates its association to E-cadherin. Previously, we reported its association with the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) receptor Met at the membrane. HGF induced Met-beta-catenin dissociation and nuclear translocation of beta-catenin, which was tyrosine-phosphorylation-dependent. Here, we further investigate the Met-beta-catenin interaction by selectively mutating several tyrosine residues, alone or in combination, in beta-catenin. The mutants were subcloned into FLAG-CMV vector and stably transfected into rat hepatoma cells, which were treated with HGF. All single or double-mutant-transfected cells continued to show HGF-induced nuclear translocation of FLAG-beta-catenin except the mutations affecting 654 and 670 simultaneously (Y654/670F), which coincided with the lack of formation of beta-catenin-TCF complex and DNA synthesis, in response to the HGF treatment. In addition, the Y654/670F-transfected cells also showed no phosphorylation of beta-catenin or dissociation from Met in response to HGF. Thus, intact 654 and 670 tyrosine residues in beta-catenin are crucial in HGF-mediated beta-catenin translocation, activation and mitogenesis.
