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

Talin is a cytoskeletal protein that binds to integrin β cytoplasmic tails and regulates integrin activation. Talin1 ablation in mice disrupts gastrulation and causes embryonic lethality. However, the role of talin in mammalian epithelial morphogenesis is poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that embryoid bodies (EBs) differentiated from talin1-null embryonic stem cells are defective in integrin adhesion complex assembly, epiblast elongation, and lineage differentiation. These defects are accompanied by a significant reduction in integrin β1 protein levels due to accelerated degradation through an MG-132-sensitive proteasomal pathway. Overexpression of integrin β1 or MG-132 treatment in mutant EBs largely rescues the phenotype. In addition, epiblast cells isolated from talin1-null EBs exhibit impaired cell spreading and focal adhesion formation. Transfection of the mutant cells with green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged wild-type but not mutant talin1 that is defective in integrin binding normalizes integrin β1 protein levels and restores focal adhesion formation. Significantly, cell adhesion and spreading are also improved by overexpression of integrin β1. All together, these results suggest that talin1 binding to integrin promotes epiblast adhesion and morphogenesis in part by preventing integrin β1 degradation.
