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

Recent discoveries have unveiled the roles of a complicated network of E3 ubiquitin ligases in regulating cell migration machineries. The E3 ubiquitin ligases Smurf1 and Cul/BACURD ubiquitinate RhoA to regulate stress fiber formation and cell polarity, and ASB2α ubiquitinates filamins to modulate cytoskeletal stiffness, thus regulating cell spreading and cell migration. HACE1, XIAP, and Skp1-Cul1-F-box bind to Rac1 and cause its ubiquitination and degradation, thus suppressing lamellipodium protrusions, while PIAS3, a SUMO ligase, activates Rac1 to promote lamellipodium dynamics. Smurf1 also enhances Rac1 activation but it does not ubiquitinate Rac1. Both Smurf1 and HECTD1 regulate focal adhesion (FA) assembly and (or) disassembly through ubiquitinating the talin head domain and phosphatidylinositol 4 phosphate 5-kinase type I γ (PIPKIγ90), respectively. Thus, E3 ubiquitin ligases regulate stress fiber formation, cell polarity, lamellipodium protrusions, and FA dynamics through ubiquitinating the key proteins that control these processes.
