Alternative polyadenylation factors link cell cycle to migration.
Article in Genome biology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 papers.
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
backgroundIn response to a wound, fibroblasts are activated to migrate toward the wound, to proliferate and to contribute to the wound healing process. We hypothesize that changes in pre-mRNA processing occurring as fibroblasts enter the proliferative cell cycle are also important for promoting their migration.
resultsRNA sequencing of fibroblasts induced into quiescence by contact inhibition reveals downregulation of genes involved in mRNA processing, including splicing and cleavage and polyadenylation factors. These genes also show differential exon use, especially increased intron retention in quiescent fibroblasts compared to proliferating fibroblasts. Mapping the 3' ends of transcripts reveals that longer transcripts from distal polyadenylation sites are more prevalent in quiescent fibroblasts and are associated with increased expression and transcript stabilization based on genome-wide transcript decay analysis. Analysis of dermal excisional wounds in mice reveals that proliferating cells adjacent to wounds express higher levels of cleavage and polyadenylation factors than quiescent fibroblasts in unwounded skin. Quiescent fibroblasts contain reduced levels of the cleavage and polyadenylation factor CstF-64. CstF-64 knockdown recapitulates changes in isoform selection and gene expression associated with quiescence, and results in slower migration.
conclusionsOur findings support cleavage and polyadenylation factors as a link between cellular proliferation state and migration.
