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

Changes in cell morphology and the physical forces that occur during migration are generated by a dynamic filamentous actin cytoskeleton. The ADP-ribosylation factor-like 4C (Arl4C) small GTPase acts as a molecular switch to regulate morphological changes and cell migration, although the mechanism by which this occurs remains unclear. Here we report that Arl4C functions with the actin regulator filamin-A (FLNa) to modulate filopodium formation and cell migration. We found that Arl4C interacted with FLNa in a GTP-dependent manner and that FLNa IgG repeat 22 is both required and sufficient for this interaction. We also show that interaction between FLNa and Arl4C is essential for Arl4C-induced filopodium formation and increases the association of FLNa with Cdc42-GEF FGD6, promoting cell division cycle 42 (Cdc42) GTPase activation. Thus our study revealed a novel mechanism, whereby filopodium formation and cell migration are regulated through the Arl4C-FLNa-mediated activation of Cdc42.
