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

The leading edge-to-cadherin contact transitions that occur during metazoan developmental processes and disease states require fine coordination of Rac and Rho pathways. Recently the elmo-mbc complex, a Rac GEF and RhoGAP19D, a Rho GAP were identified as key, conserved regulators that link Rac and Rho during these transitions. The corresponding Rho GEF and Rac GAP remain hidden amongst the large family of GEF and GAP proteins. Identification of these regulators is essential to understand GTPase coordination during these transitions. Here we find two candidates based on the mammalian literature and use RNAi to explore the fly ortholog effects on the dorsal closure epidermis. RhoGEF64C and RhoGAP92B are strong contenders to couple Rac and Rho during mesenchymal-to-epithelial-like transitions.
