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

Wounding usually causes considerable cell damage, and released ATP promotes migration of nearby epithelium. ATP binds to purinergic receptors on the cell surface and induces transactivation of the EGF receptor through signaling by the Src family kinases (SFKs). Here we tested whether ATP activates these kinases through Pyk2, a member of the focal adhesion kinase family. Pyk2 was rapidly and potently activated by treating corneal epithelial cells with ATP, and physical interaction of Pyk2 with the SFKs was enhanced. Disruption of Pyk2 signaling either by siRNA or by expression of a dominant-negative mutant led to inhibition of ATP-induced activation of the SFKs and the EGF receptor. Inhibiting Pyk2 activity also blocked ATP stimulation of healing of wounds in epithelial cell sheets. These data suggest that ATP stimulates sequential activation of Pyk2, SFKs, and the EGF receptor to induce cell migration.
