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

Jnks are mitogen activated protein kinases that are best known for regulating transcription and apoptotic signaling. However, they also play important roles in controlling cell motility and invasion by phosphorylating many actin and microtubule regulatory proteins. These mechanisms have important implications for normal cell motility as well as cancer metastasis. Jnks are activated by growth factors and cytokines that stimulate cell motility, and this often requires upstream activation of Rho GTPases. Our recent work indicates that Jnks may also regulate Rho GTPase activation. Specifically, we found that Jnk-dependent phosphorylation of the RhoA guanine nucleotide exchange factor (RhoGEF) Net1A promotes its cytosolic accumulation to drive RhoA activation and actin cytoskeletal reorganization. Net1A is unusual among RhoGEFs in that it is sequestered in the nucleus to prevent aberrant RhoA activation. Importantly, Jnk-stimulated cytosolic localization of Net1A is sufficient to stimulate cell motility and extracellular matrix invasion in non-invasive breast cancer cells. Since Net1A expression is critical for cancer cell motility and invasion
