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

Actin polymerization and depolymerization plays a central role in controlling a wide spectrum of cellular processes. There are many actin-binding proteins in eukaryotic cells. Their roles in the remodeling of the actin architecture and whether they work cooperatively await further study. Caldesmon (CaD) is an actin-binding protein present in nearly all mammalian cells. Cortactin is another actin-binding protein found mainly in the cell cortex. There have been no reports suggesting that CaD and cortactin interact with each other or work as partners. Here, we present evidence that CaD binds cortactin directly by overlay, pull-down assays, ELISA, and by column chromatography. The interaction involves the N-terminal region of cortactin and the C-terminal region of CaD, and appears to be enhanced by divalent metal ions. Cortactin competes with both full-length CaD and its C-terminal fragment for actin binding. Binding of cortactin partially alleviates the inhibitory effect of CaD on the actomyosin ATPase activity. Not only can binding be demonstrated in vitro, the two proteins also co-localize in activated cells at the cortex. Whether such interactions bear any functional significance awaits further investigation.
