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 MYOCILIN gene encodes a secreted glycoprotein which is highly expressed in eye drainage structures. Mutations in this gene may lead to juvenile open-angle glaucoma and adult onset primary open-angle glaucoma, one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness in the world. Functions of wild-type myocilin are still unclear. We have recently demonstrated that myocilin is a modulator of Wnt signaling and may affect actin cytoskeleton organization. Here we report that myocilin and its naturally occurring proteolytic fragments, similar to Wnt3a, are able to stimulate trabecular meshwork, NIH3T3, and FHL124 cell migration with the N-terminal proteolytic fragment of myocilin lacking the olfactomedin domain producing the highest stimulatory effect. Stimulation of cell migration occurs through activation of the integrin-focal adhesion kinase (FAK)-serine/threonine kinase (AKT) signaling pathway. Inhibition of FAK by siRNA reduced the stimulatory action of myocilin by threefold. Activation of several components of this signaling pathway was also demonstrated in the eyes of transgenic mice expressing elevated levels of myocilin in the eye drainage structures. These data extend the similarities between actions of myocilin and Wnt proteins acting through a β-catenin-independent mechanism. The modification of the migratory ability of cells by myocilin may play a role in normal functioning of the eye anterior segment and its pathology including glaucoma.
