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 stiffness of extracellular matrix (ECM) directs the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) through the transcriptional co-activators Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional coactivator with a PDZ-binding motif (TAZ). Although a recent study revealed the involvement of vinexin α and CAP (c-Cbl-associated proteins), two of vinexin (SORBS) family proteins that bind to vinculin, in mechanosensing, it is still unclear whether these proteins regulate mechanotransduction and differentiation of MSCs. In the present study, we show that both vinexin α and CAP are necessary for the association of vinculin with the cytoskeleton and the promotion of YAP/TAZ nuclear localization in MSCs grown on rigid substrates. Furthermore, CAP is involved in the MSC differentiation in a stiffness-dependent manner, whereas vinexin depletion suppresses adipocyte differentiation independently of YAP/TAZ. These observations reveal a critical role of vinexin α and CAP in mechanotransduction and MSC differentiation.
