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

Non-muscle myosin II has diverse functions in cell contractility, morphology, cytokinesis and migration. Mammalian cells have three isoforms of non-muscle myosin II, termed IIA, IIB and IIC, encoded by three different genes. These isoforms share considerable homology and some overlapping functions, yet they exhibit differences in enzymatic properties, subcellular localization, molecular interaction and tissue distribution.(1-6) Our studies have focused on the IIA isoform, and they reveal unique regulatory roles in cell-cell adhesion and cell migration that are associated with cross-talk of the actomyosin system with microtubules. In humans, various mutations in the MYH9 gene that encodes the myosin IIA heavy chain cause autosomal dominant disease, whereas in mice, the complete deficiency is embryonic lethal but heterozygous mice are nearly normal. We discuss here the differences between mouse and human phenotypes and how the wealth of mechanistic knowledge about myosin II based on in vitro studies and mouse models can help us understand the molecular and cellular pathophysiology of myosin IIA deficiency in humans.
