Looking beyond the Wnt pathway for the deep nature of β-catenin.
Review in EMBO reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 60 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
After two decades of stardom, one would think that β-catenin has revealed all of its most intimate details. Yet the essence of its duality has remained mysterious--how can a single protein both be the core link between cadherins and the cytoskeleton, and the nuclear messenger for Wnt signalling? On the basis of the available evidence and on molecular and evolutionary considerations, I propose that β-catenin was a born nuclear transport receptor, which by interacting with adhesion molecules acquired the property to coordinate nuclear functions with cell-cell adhesion. While Wnt signalling diverted this activity, the original pathway might still function in modern eukaryotes.
