Genetic analyses in mouse fibroblast and melanoma cells demonstrate novel roles for PDGF-AB ligand and PDGF receptor alpha.
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Platelet Derived Growth Factor Receptor (PDGFR) signaling is a central mitogenic pathway in development, as well as tissue repair and homeostasis. The rules governing the binding of PDGF ligand to the receptor to produce activation and downstream signaling have been well defined over the last several decades. In cultured cells after a period of serum deprivation, treatment with PDGF leads to the rapid formation of dramatic, actin-rich Circular Dorsal Ruffles (CDRs). Using CDRs as a robust visual readout of early PDGFR signaling, we have identified several contradictory elements in the widely accepted model of PDGF activity. Employing CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing to disrupt the Pdgfra gene in two different murine cell lines, we show that in addition to the widely accepted function for PDGFR-beta in CDR formation, PDGFR-alpha is also clearly capable of eliciting CDRs. Moreover, we demonstrate activity for heterodimeric PDGF-AB ligand in the vigorous activation of PDGFR-beta homodimers to produce CDRs. These findings are key to a more complete understanding of PDGF ligand-receptor interactions and their downstream signaling consequences. This knowledge will allow for more rigorous experimental design in future studies of PDGFR signaling and its contributions to development and disease.
