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

Rho GTPases regulate cell motility in a large part through control of actin cytoskeletal organization. The activation state of Rho proteins is regulated by a wide variety of guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) and GTPase activating proteins that are differentially expressed among cell types and disease states. The RhoA specific GEF neuroepithelial transforming gene 1 (Net1) is highly expressed in many cancer cells and stimulates cell motility, invasion and cell spreading in response to a variety of ligands. A key feature of Net1 proteins is that they are sequestered in the nucleus in the absence of a motility stimulus. We have recently found that accumulation of the Net1A isoform outside the nucleus, which is the primary Net1 isoform controlling cell motility, is regulated by its acetylation status. Here, we describe acetylation as a novel mechanism of RhoGEF regulation in cell motility that can be targeted in cancer and metastasis.
