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

Hemidesmosomes (HDs) are multiprotein adhesion complexes that promote attachment of epithelial cells to the basement membrane. The binding of alpha6beta4 to plectin plays a central role in their assembly. We have defined three regions on beta4 that together harbor all the serine and threonine phosphorylation sites and show that three serines (S1356, S1360, and S1364), previously implicated in HD regulation, prevent the interaction of beta4 with the plectin actin-binding domain when phosphorylated. We have also established that epidermal growth factor receptor activation, which is known to function upstream of HD disassembly, results in the phosphorylation of only one or more of these three residues and the partial disassembly of HDs in keratinocytes. Additionally, we show that S1360 and S1364 of beta4 are the only residues phosphorylated by PKC and PKA in cells, respectively. Taken together, our studies indicate that multiple kinases act in concert to breakdown the structural integrity of HDs in keratinocytes, which is primarily achieved through the phosphorylation of S1356, S1360, and S1364 on the beta4 subunit.
