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

Integrin beta 4, one of the heterodimeric receptors, is expressed predominantly on epithelial cells. It is concentrated at the basement membrane zone, where it localizes to specialized adhesion structures called hemidesmosomes. In addition to its adhesive functions, novel insights have emerged regarding the specific roles of integrin beta 4 in their attachment to extracellular matrix and in their signal transduction pathways within the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system in the past few years. It has been reported that integrin beta 4 is expressed in several kinds of neural cells including astrocyte, Schwann cells, neurons, and neural stem cells. In the mean while, it is expressed by some Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system and mediated the Mycobacterium leprae invade the peripheral nervous system to reach the Schwann cells. This review highlights recent progress in the function and regulation of integrin beta 4 in neural cells.
