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

p27 mediates cell cycle arrest by binding to and inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinase/cyclin complexes, but p27 can also contribute to pro-oncogenic signaling upon mislocalization to the cytoplasm. Cytoplasmic p27 stimulates cell migration by associating with RhoA and interfering with the exchange of GDP from RhoA stimulated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors. We used biophysical methods to show that the N-terminus of p27 directly interacts with RhoA in vitro. The affinity of p27 for RhoA is low, with an equilibrium dissociation constant of hundreds of micromolar; however, at high concentrations, p27 interfered with guanine nucleotide exchange factor-mediated nucleotide exchange from RhoA. We also show that promotion of cell migration in scratch wound cell healing assays requires full-length p27 despite the C-terminus being dispensable for the direct interaction between p27 and RhoA in vitro. These results suggest that there may be an unidentified factor(s) that associates with the C-terminus of p27 to enhance its interactions with RhoA and promote cell migration.
