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

Epithelial differentiation proceeds in at least two steps: Conversion of a nonepithelial cell into an epithelial sheet followed by terminal differentiation into the mature epithelial phenotype. It was recently discovered that the extracellular matrix (ECM) protein hensin is able to convert a renal intercalated cell line from a flat, squamous shape into a cuboidal or columnar epithelium. Global knockout of hensin in mice results in embryonic lethality at the time that the first columnar cells appear. Here, antibodies that either activate or block integrin beta1 were used to demonstrate that activation of integrin alpha v beta 1 causes deposition of hensin in the ECM. Once hensin polymerizes and deposits into the ECM, it binds to integrin alpha 6 and mediates the conversion of epithelial cells to a cuboidal phenotype capable of apical endocytosis; therefore, multiple integrins play a role in the terminal differentiation of the intercalated cell: alpha v beta 1 generates polymerized hensin, and another set of integrins (containing alpha 6) mediates signals between hensin and the interior of the cells.
