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 structures that anchor epithelial cells to the basement membrane. HD components include the alpha6beta4 integrin, plectin, and BPAGs (bullous pemphigoid antigens). HD disassembly in keratinocytes is necessary for cells to migrate and can be induced by EGF through beta4 integrin phosphorylation. We have identified a novel phosphorylation site on the beta4 integrin: S(1424). Preventing phosphorylation by mutating S-->A(1424) results in increased incorporation of beta4 into HDs and resistance to EGF-induced disassembly. In contrast, mutating S-->D(1424) (mimicking phosphorylation) partially mobilizes beta4 from HDs and potentiates the disassembly effects of other phosphorylation sites. In contrast to previously described sites that are phosphorylated upon growth factor stimulation, S(1424) already exhibits high constitutive phosphorylation, suggesting additional functions. Constitutive phosphorylation of S(1424) is distinctively enriched at the trailing edge of migrating keratinocytes where HDs are disassembled. Although most of this S(1424)-phosphorylated beta4 is found dissociated from HDs, a substantial amount can be associated with HDs near the cell margins, colocalizing with plectin but always excluding BPAGs, suggesting that phospho-S(1424) might be a mechanism to dissociate beta4 from BPAGs. S(1424) phosphorylation is PKC dependent. These data suggest an important role for S(1424) in the gradual disassembly of HDs induced by cell retraction.
