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

Actin stress fiber (SF), focal adhesion (FA) and adherens junction (AJ) are known structures whose formation and development are mechanical force-dependent. At these structures, actin is actively polymerized, which in turn contributes the development of these structures. Recently, we reported that actin polymerization at FAs is facilitated by mechanical forces, which was critically dependent on the force-induced recruitment of the LIM protein zyxin to FAs. Zyxin enhances actin polymerization with the aid of Ena/VASP proteins. Both zyxin and Ena/VASP proteins are localized not only to FAs but also to AJs and SFs, facilitating actin polymerization at these structures. We discuss here the possibility that zyxin is a common mechanotransducer element regulating actin polymerization at FAs, AJs and SFs.
