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

Activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a key signaling event that promotes cells to move and cover wounds in many epithelia. We have previously shown that wounding activates the EGFR through activation of the Src family kinases (SFKs), which induce proteolytic shedding of epidermal growth factor-like ligands from the cell surface. A major goal in wound healing research is to identify early signals that promote motility, and here we examined the hypothesis that members of the focal adhesion kinase family are upstream activators of the SFKs after wounding. We found that focal adhesion kinase is not activated by wounding but that a different family member, Pyk2 (PTK2B/RAFTK/CAKbeta), is activated rapidly and potently. Pyk2 interaction with c-Src is increased after wounding, as determined by co-immunoprecipitation experiments. Disruption of Pyk2 signaling either by small interfering RNA or by expression of a dominant negative mutant led to inhibition of wound-induced activation of the SFKs and the EGFR, and conversely, overexpression of wild-type Pyk2 stimulated SFK and EGFR kinase activities in cells. In wound healing studies, Pyk2 small interfering RNA or dominant negative inhibited cell migration. These results show that activation of Pyk2 is an early signal that promotes wound healing by stimulating the SFK/EGFR signaling pathway.
