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

Anthrax toxin protein receptor (ANTXR) 1 has many similarities to integrin and is regarded in some respects as a single-stranded integrin protein. However, it is not clear whether ANTXR1 responds to mechanical signals secondary to the activation of integrins or whether it is a completely new, independent and previously undiscovered mechanosensor that responds to an undefined subset of mechanical signaling molecules. Our study demonstrates that ANTXR1 is a novel mechanosensor on the cell membrane, acting independently from the classical mechanoreceptor molecule integrinβ1. We show that bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) respond to the hydrostatic pressure towards chondrogenic differentiation partly through the glycogen synthase kinase (GSK) 3β/β-Catenin signaling pathway, which can be partly regulated by ANTXR1 and might be related to the direct binding between ANTXR1 and low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) 5/6. In addition, ANTXR1 specifically activates Smad2 and upregulates Smad4 expression to facilitate the transport of activated Smad2 to the nucleus to regulate chondrogenesis, which might be related to the direct binding between ANTXR1 and Actin/Fascin1. We also demonstrate that ANTXR1 binds to some extent with integrinβ1, but this interaction does not affect the expression and function of either protein under pressure. Thus, we conclude that ANTXR1 plays a crucial role in BMSC mechanotransduction and controls specific signaling pathways that are distinct from those of integrin to influence the chondrogenic responses of BMSCs under hydrostatic pressure.
