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

Tropoelastin protein monomers assemble to form elastin. Cellular integrin αVβ3 binds RKRK at the C-terminal tail of tropoelastin. We probed cell interactions with tropoelastin by deleting the RKRK sequence to identify other cell-binding interactions within tropoelastin. We found a novel human dermal fibroblast attachment and spreading site on tropoelastin that is located centrally in the molecule. Inhibition studies demonstrated that this cell adhesion was not mediated by either elastin-binding protein or glycosaminoglycans. Cell interactions were divalent cation-dependent, indicating integrin dependence. Function-blocking monoclonal antibodies revealed that αV integrin(s) and integrin αVβ5 specifically were critical for cell adhesion to this part of tropoelastin. These data reveal a common αV integrin-binding theme for tropoelastin: αVβ3 at the C terminus and αVβ5 at the central region of tropoelastin. Each αV region contributes to fibroblast attachment and spreading, but they differ in their effects on cytoskeletal assembly.
