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

Colchicine and nocodazole, both established microtubule disruptors, are useful tools to investigate cytoskeletal-dependent signaling cascades and the associated downstream transcriptional targets. Since cytoskeletal events impact pathophysiologic consequences in the vascular system, the signaling requirements underlying colchicine-stimulated expression of PAI-1 and CTGF, two prominent cell deformation-sensitive fibrosis-initiating proteins, were evaluated in vascular smooth muscle cells. Microtubule disruption rapidly induced EGFR transactivation (at the src kinase-sensitive EGFR(Y845) site) in a ROS-dependent manner. Genetic deficiency of EGFR, inhibition of EGFR signaling with AG1478 or introduction of a kinase-deficient EGFR construct effectively blocked colchicine-stimulated PAI-1 and CTGF expression. MEK/ERK involvement downstream of ROS generation was critical for PAI-1, but not CTGF, expression following cytoskeletal perturbation suggesting bifurcation of signaling pathways downstream of EGFR activation. Colchicine also stimulated SMAD2/3 phosphorylation by a Rho/ROCK-dependent mechanism independent of TGF-beta1 release or receptor activity. Rho/ROCK signaling initiated by tubulin network collapse was required for both CTGF and PAI-1 induction. Colchicine-initiated SMAD3 phosphorylation, however, was essential for PAI-1, but not CTGF, expression further highlighting divergence of signaling events downstream of Rho/ROCK that mediate microtubule deformation-associated changes in profibrotic gene transcription.
