A novel role for retromer in the control of epithelial cell polarity.
Article in Communicative & integrative biology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
The establishment and maintenance of epithelial cell polarity is essential throughout the development and adult life of all multicellular organisms. A key player in maintaining epithelial polarity is Crumbs (Crb), an evolutionarily conserved type-I transmembrane protein initially identified in Drosophila. Correct Crb levels and apical localization are imperative for its function. However, as is the case for many polarized proteins, the mechanisms of its trafficking and strict apical localization are poorly understood. To address these questions, we developed a liposome-based assay to identify trafficking coats and interaction partners of Crb in a native-like environment. Thereby, we demonstrated that Crb is a cargo for Retromer, a trafficking complex required for transport from endosomes to the trans-Golgi-network. The functional importance of this interaction was revealed by studies in Drosophila epithelia, which established Retromer as a novel regulator of epithelial cell polarity and verified the vast potential of this technique.
