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

A new isolation procedure for cell-to-cell adherens junctions has been developed using rat liver. From the bile canaliculi-enriched fraction obtained by homogenization of the liver and sucrose gradient centrifugation, the fraction rich in adherens junction was recovered by detergent treatment followed by sucrose gradient centrifugation. Light and electron microscopy revealed that this final fraction was mainly composed of the belt-like adherens junctions with their associated short actin filaments. Biochemical and immunological analyses have shown that vinculin is highly enriched in this fraction. Considering that vinculin is known to be localized in the cell-to-cell adherens junctions, we can conclude that we have succeeded in isolating the cell-to-cell adherens junctions. Furthermore, the constituents of the undercoat (dense layer underlying the membrane) of adherens junctions were selectively extracted from the fraction rich in junctions. Upon SDS electrophoresis of this extract, 10 polypeptides including vinculin, alpha-actinin, and actin were dominant. The results obtained are discussed with special reference to the molecular organization of the undercoats of cell-to-cell adherens junctions.
