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

Frizzled (Fz) seven-pass transmembrane receptors are Wnt receptors and function in a variety of developmental pathways. Here we identify retinoic acid-inducible gene-1, 2, 3, and 4 (RAIG1, 2, 3, and 4) as potential Fz binding proteins. RAIG proteins are seven-pass transmembrane receptors, and Xenopus RAIG2, 3, and 4 are expressed in early gastrula. XRAIG2 can activate small GTPases, such as RhoA, Rac, and Cdc42, and c-jun N-terminal kinase, thus exhibit activities that overlap with non-canonical Wnt/Fz signaling. Injection of XRAIG2 mRNA into Xenopus embryo causes a severe shortened and bent body axis due to defective gastrulation movements, reminiscent of abnormal non-canonical Wnt signaling. XRAIG2 affects convergent extension in activin-treated animal caps, which can be partially rescued by co-injection of a dominant-negative form of Cdc42. In zebrafish embryo, XRAIG2 also causes Ca(2+) flux, one of the consequences of non-canonical Wnt signaling. These results suggest a possible crosstalk/integration between Wnt/Frizzled and RAIG signal transduction pathways.
