Tight junction-based epithelial microenvironment and cell proliferation.
Review in Oncogene, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 182 papers.
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.
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
Belt-like tight junctions (TJs), referred to as zonula occludens, have long been regarded as a specialized differentiation of epithelial cell membranes. They are required for cell adhesion and paracellular barrier functions, and are now thought to be partly involved in fence functions and in cell polarization. Recently, the molecular bases of TJs have gradually been unveiled. TJs are constructed by TJ strands, whose basic frameworks are composed of integral membrane proteins with four transmembrane domains, designated claudins. The claudin family is supposedly composed of at least 24 members in mice and humans. Other types of integral membrane proteins with four transmembrane domains, namely occludin and tricellulin, as well as the single transmembrane proteins, JAMs (junctional adhesion molecules) and CAR (coxsackie and adenovirus receptor), are associated with TJ strands, and the high-level organization of TJ strands is likely to be established by membrane-anchored scaffolding proteins, such as ZO-1/2. Recent functional analyses of claudins in cell cultures and in mice have suggested that claudin-based TJs may have pivotal functions in the regulation of the epithelial microenvironment, which is critical for various biological functions such as control of cell proliferation. These represent the dawn of 'Barriology' (defined by Shoichiro Tsukita as the science of barriers in multicellular organisms). Taken together with recent reports regarding changes in claudin expression levels, understanding the regulation of the TJ-based microenvironment system will provide new insights into the regulation of polarization in the respect of epithelial microenvironment system and new viewpoints for developing anticancer strategies.
