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

Connexin 37 (Cx37) profoundly suppresses the proliferation of rat insulinoma (Rin) cells by unknown mechanisms. To determine whether a functional pore domain is necessary for Cx37-mediated growth suppression, we introduced a mutation that converted threonine 154 into alanine (T154A). Like other connexins mutated at the homologous site, Cx37-T154A localized to appositional membrane but failed to form functional channels and exerted a dominant-negative effect on coexpressed wild-type Cx37 or Cx43. Unlike the wild-type protein, Cx37-T154A did not suppress the proliferation of Rin cells and did not, with serum deprivation, result in cell cycle arrest. Furthermore, progression through the cell cycle was unaffected by expression of Cx37-T154A. These results indicate that a pore-forming domain that is able to form functional channels is essential for the anti-proliferative, cell-cycle arrest and serum-sensitivity effects of Cx37, and furthermore that the normally localized C-terminal domain is not sufficient for these effects of Cx37.
