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

Following T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) engagement, a multi-molecular complex consisting of SLP-76, Nck and VAV1 is formed and recruited to the T-cell antigen-presenting-cell (APC) interaction site. This complex is crucial for the regulation of the actin machinery. The molecules Nck (an adaptor) and VAV1 (a GEF for small G-proteins) were previously shown to bind SLP-76. Using high-resolution imaging techniques, together with gene silencing and biochemical analysis, we studied the dynamics of this signaling complex formation. We recently showed that VAV1 and Nck can bind each other independently of SLP-76. This direct interaction is mediated by the binding of the Nck C-terminal SH3 domain and the VAV1 N-terminal SH3 domain. This interaction contributes to the cooperative nature of the complex formation. This observation was confirmed in functional studies: disruption of the Nck-VAV1 interaction strongly inhibited actin polymerization. Here, we show that Nck-VAV1 interaction is not required for Ca(2+) mobilization, since a point mutation in the VAV1 N-terminal SH3 domain, which prevents the direct interaction between Nck and VAV1, has no effect on Ca(2+) flux and minimal effects on ZAP-70, LAT or PLCγ1 phosphorylation.
