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 membrane of the primary cilium is continuous with the plasma membrane but compositionally distinct. Although some membrane proteins concentrate in the cilium, others such as podocalyxin/gp135 are excluded. We found that exclusion reflects a saturable selective retention mechanism. Podocalyxin is immobilized by its PDZ interaction motif binding to NHERF1 and thereby to the apical actin network via ERM family members. The retention signal was dominant, autonomous, and transferable to membrane proteins not normally excluded from the cilium. The NHERF1-binding domains of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator and Csk-binding protein were also found to act as transferable retention signals. Addition of a retention signal could inhibit the ciliary localization of proteins (e.g., Smoothened) containing signals that normally facilitate concentration in the ciliary membrane. Proteins without a retention signal (e.g., green fluorescent protein-glycosylphosphatidylinositol) were found in the cilium, suggesting entry was not impeded by a diffusion barrier or lipid microdomain. Thus, a hierarchy of interactions controls the composition of the ciliary membrane, including selective retention, selective inclusion, and passive diffusion.
