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

The neural crest is a transient population of migratory cells that differentiates to form a variety of cell types in the vertebrate embryo, including melanocytes, the craniofacial skeleton, and portions of the peripheral nervous system. These cells initially exist as adherent epithelial cells in the dorsal aspect of the neural tube and only later become migratory after an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Snail2 plays a critical role in mediating chick neural crest cell EMT and migration due to its expression by both premigratory and migratory cranial neural crest cells and its ability to down-regulate intercellular junctions components. In an attempt to delineate the role of cellular junction components in the neural crest, we have identified the adherens junction molecule neural alpha-catenin (alphaN-catenin) as a Snail2 target gene whose repression is critical for chick neural crest cell migration. Knock-down and overexpression of alphaN-catenin enhances and inhibits neural crest cell migration, respectively. Furthermore, our results reveal that alphaN-catenin regulates the appropriate movement of neural crest cells away from the neural tube into the embryo. Collectively, our data point to a novel function of an adherens junction protein in facilitating the proper migration of neural crest cells during the development of the vertebrate embryo.
