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

Compared to the rodent monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP1/CCL2), the human MCP1 lacks a C-terminal extension. Although the function of this C-extension is not entirely defined, in previous work we reported that it decreases the chemotactic properties of mouse MCP1. To determine if this function is specific to the rodent chemokine, or if the C-terminal extension has the ability to regulate chemotactic potency to MCP1 in general, we generated a chimeric protein consisting of human MCP1 fused to the mouse MCP1 C-terminal fragment. We found that mouse MCP1 C-terminus significantly decreased the chemotactic potency of human MCP1 and diminished the blood brain barrier compromise normally induced by the human protein. Not only did mouse MCP1 C-terminus inhibit human MCP1-induced Rac1 activation and formation of lamellipodia, it also disrupted the staining pattern of ZO-1 at cell-cell borders and prevented human MCP1-induced F-actin formation in brain microvascular endothelial cells. Additionally, the MCP1 C-terminus dramatically decreased human MCP1-induced activation of ERM proteins in endothelial cells. These findings confirm that the rodent C-terminal MCP1 extension acts as a rheostat for MCP1 functions and suggest that potentially in humans another protein or protein complex may assume a similar regulatory function.
