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

Primary cilia are microtubule-based solitary membrane projections on the cell surface that play important roles in signaling and development. Recent studies have demonstrated that polarized vesicular trafficking involving the small GTPase Rab8 and its guanine nucleotide exchange factor Rabin8 is essential for primary ciliogenesis. In this study, we show that a highly conserved region of Rabin8 is pivotal for its activation as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Rab8. In addition, in its activated conformation, Rabin8 interacts with Sec15, a subunit of the exocyst and downstream effector of Rab8. Expression of constitutively activated Rab8 promotes the association of Sec15 with Rabin8. Using immunofluorescence microscopy, we found that Sec15 co-localized with Rab8 along the primary cilium. Inhibition of Sec15 function in cells led to defects in primary ciliogenesis. The Rabin8-Rab8-Sec15 interaction may couple the activation of Rab8 to the recruitment of the Rab8 effector and is involved in the regulation of vesicular trafficking for primary cilium formation.
