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

Morphogenesis is a complex and highly coordinated process orchestrated by temporal spatial activity of developmental pathways. How the different pathways interact to guide the developmental program remains an intriguing and open question. MAP3K1-JNK and Wnt are signaling pathways crucial for embryonic eyelid closure, an epithelial morphogenetic event conserved in mammals. Here we used a mouse model of eyelid development and genetic and biochemistry tools to investigate the relationships between the two pathways. We found that Wnt activation repressed MAP3K1 expression. Using Axin-LacZ reporter mice, spatial Wnt activity was detected in the leading edge of the developing eyelid. Conditional knockout of Wntless (Wls) in ocular surface ectoderm blocked eyelid formation, and significantly increased MAP3K1 expression in eyelid cells at the nasal canthus region. Conversely, knockout of Dkk2, encoding a canonical Wnt antagonist, resulted in an increase of Wnt activity in cells at the upper eyelid margin near the nasal canthus. Up-regulation of Wnt signaling in the Dkk2-knockout embryos corresponded to down-regulation of MAP3K1 expression. In vitro data showed that Wnt3a treatment decreased MAP3K1 promoter activity, whereas activation of Wnt by lithium chloride inhibited MAP3K1 expression, and attenuated MAP3K1-mediated JNK activity. Our data identify a unique signal crosstalk between Wnt signaling and the MAP3K1-JNK pathway in epithelial morphogenesis.
