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

To clarify the potential role of gap junction in cell-cell contact response, the expression of connexin30.3 gene (Cx30.3), a specifically expressed isoform in undifferentiated state of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell line EB3 was investigated under different cell-cell contact conditions. ES cells were cultured by hanging drop culture method to increase cell-cell contact frequency. As control, a single cell culture was conducted. After culture for 12 h, the Cx30.3 expression level in hanging drop culture reached 1.73-fold that of the control (p < 0.001). By contrast, connexin43 gene (Cx43), a ubiquitously expressed gene, showed no difference between both cultures. The experiment of E-cadherin inhibition and β-catenin knockdown suggested the action of E-cadherin upstream of the Cx30.3 regulating pathway. The cell-cell contacts with different cell lines such as HeLa cells and B16/BL6 caused no effect on the Cx30.3 in ES cells. These suggest a potential role of Cx30.3 as a cell-cell contact signal mediator partially regulated by E-cadherin signaling.
