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

The primary function of epithelia is to provide a barrier between the extracellular environment and the interior of the body. Efficient epithelial repair mechanisms are therefore crucial for homeostasis. The epithelial wound-healing process involves highly regulated morphogenetic changes of epithelial cells that are driven by dynamic changes of the cytoskeleton. P21-activated kinases are serine/threonine kinases that have emerged as important regulators of the cytoskeleton. These kinases, which are activated downsteam of the Rho GTPases Rac and cd42, were initially mostly implicated in the regulation of cell migration. More recently, however, these kinases were shown to have many additional functions that are relevant to the regulation of epithelial wound healing. Here, we provide an overview of the morphogenetic changes of epithelial cells during wound healing and the many functions of p21-activated kinases in these processes.
