Interaction of LEF1 with TAZ is necessary for the osteoblastogenic activity of Wnt3a.

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.
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
Canonical Wnt signalling plays an important role in osteoblast differentiation and bone formation. However, the molecular mechanisms by which canonical Wnt signalling exerts its osteoblastogenic effect remain elusive. Here, we investigated the relationship between lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1 (LEF1) and transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ), both of which are transcriptional regulators that mediate canonical Wnt signalling during osteoblast differentiation. Reporter assay and co-immunoprecipitation experiments revealed functional and physical interaction between LEF1 and TAZ. Overexpression of dominant-negative forms of either LEF1 or TAZ markedly inhibited Wnt3a-dependent osteoblast differentiation. Moreover, we found that LEF1 and TAZ formed a transcriptional complex with runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) and that inhibition of LEF1 or TAZ by their dominant-negative forms dramatically suppressed the osteoblastogenic activity of Ruxn2. Additionally, Wnt3a enhanced osteoblast differentiation induced by bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), which stimulates osteoblast differentiation by regulating Runx2. Collectively, these findings suggest that interaction between LEF1 and TAZ is crucial for the osteoblastogenic activity of Wnt3a and that LEF1 and TAZ contribute to the cooperative effect of Wnt3a and BMP2 on osteoblast differentiation through association with Runx2.
