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

Epithelial junctions depend on intercellular interactions between β(1) subunits of the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase molecules of neighboring cells. The interaction between dog and rat subunits is less effective than the interaction between two dog β(1) subunits, indicating the importance of species-specific regions for β(1)-β(1) binding. To identify these regions, the species-specific amino acid residues were mapped on a high-resolution structure of the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase β(1) subunit to select those exposed towards the β(1) subunit of the neighboring cell. These exposed residues were mutated in both dog and rat YFP-linked β(1) subunits (YFP-β(1)) and also in the secreted extracellular domain of the dog β(1) subunit. Five rat-like mutations in the amino acid region spanning residues 198-207 of the dog YFP-β(1) expressed in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells decreased co-precipitation of the endogenous dog β(1) subunit with YFP-β(1) to the level observed between dog β(1) and rat YFP-β(1). In parallel, these mutations impaired the recognition of YFP-β(1) by the dog-specific antibody that inhibits cell adhesion between MDCK cells. Accordingly, dog-like mutations in rat YFP-β(1) increased both the (YFP-β(1))-β(1) interaction in MDCK cells and recognition by the antibody. Conversely, rat-like mutations in the secreted extracellular domain of the dog β(1) subunit increased its interaction with rat YFP-β(1) in vitro. In addition, these mutations resulted in a reduction of intercellular adhesion between rat lung epithelial cells following addition of the secreted extracellular domain of the dog β(1) subunit to a cell suspension. Therefore, the amino acid region 198-207 is crucial for both trans-dimerization of the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase β(1) subunits and cell-cell adhesion.
