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

Fibrillins constitute the backbone of microfibrils in the extracellular matrix of elastic and non-elastic tissues. Mutations in fibrillins are associated with a wide range of connective tissue disorders, the most common is Marfan syndrome. Microfibrils are on one hand important for structural stability in some tissues. On the other hand, microfibrils are increasingly recognized as critical mediators and drivers of cellular signaling. This review focuses on the signaling mechanisms initiated by fibrillins and microfibrils, which are often dysregulated in fibrillin-associated disorders. Fibrillins regulate the storage and bioavailability of growth factors of the TGF-β superfamily. Cells sense microfibrils through integrins and other receptors. Fibrillins potently regulate pathways of the immune response, inflammation and tissue homeostasis. Emerging evidence show the involvement of microRNAs in disorders caused by fibrillin deficiency. A thorough understanding of fibrillin-mediated cell signaling pathways will provide important new leads for therapeutic approaches of the underlying disorders.
