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 actin cytoskeleton plays a pivotal role in cell development, morphogenesis, and other cellular functions. Precise control of actin dynamics requires actin-binding proteins. Here, we characterize multifarious regulation of SHTN1 (shootin1) and show that, unlike known actin-binding proteins, SHTN1's actin binding activity is intrinsically inhibited by a putative coiled-coil domain (CCD) and the autoinhibition is overcome by alternative splicing regulation. We found SHTN1 contains a noncanonical WH2 domain and an upstream proline-rich region (PRR) that by themselves are sufficient for actin interaction. Alternative splicing of Shtn1 at the C terminus and downstream of the WH2-PRR domain produces a long (SHTN1L or shootin1b) and a short (SHTN1S or shootin1a) isoform, which both contain the described PRR and WH2 domains. However, SHTN1S does not interact with actin due to inhibition mediated by an N-terminal CCD. A SHTN1L-specific C-terminal motif counters the intramolecular inhibition and allows SHNT1L to bind actin. A nuclear localization signal is embedded between PRR and WH2 and is subject to similar autoinhibition. SHTN1 would be the first WH2-containing molecule that adopts CCD-dependent autoinhibition and alternative splicing-dependent actin interaction.
