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

Podosomes are dynamic actin-rich adhesion plasma membrane microdomains endowed with extracellular matrix-degrading activities. In aortic endothelial cells, podosomes are induced by transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), but how this occurs is largely unknown. It is thought that, in endothelial cells, podosomes play a role in vessel remodeling and/or in breaching anatomical barriers. We demonstrate here that, in bovine aortic endothelial cells, that the Cdc42-specific guanine exchange factor (GEF) Fgd1 is expressed and regulated by TGF-β to induce Cdc42-dependent podosome assembly. Within 15 min of TGF-β stimulation, Fgd1, but none of the other tested Cdc42 GEFs, undergoes tyrosine phosphorylation, associates with Cdc42, and translocates to the subcortical cytoskeleton via a cortactin-dependent mechanism. Small interfering RNA-mediated Fgd1 knockdown inhibits TGF-β-induced Cdc42 activation. Fgd1 depletion also reduces podosome formation and associated matrix degradation and these defects are rescued by reexpression of Fgd1. Although overexpression of Fgd1 does not promote podosome formation per se, it enhances TGF-β-induced matrix degradation. Our results identify Fgd1 as a TGF-β-regulated GEF and, as such, the first GEF to be involved in the process of cytokine-induced podosome formation. Our findings reveal the involvement of Fgd1 in endothelial cell biology and open up new avenues to study its role in vascular pathophysiology.
