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

Filamins are large dimeric F-actin cross-linking proteins, crucial for the mechanosensitive properties of a number of cell types. Due to their interaction with a variety of different proteins, they exert important regulatory functions. However, in the human testis the role of filamins has been insufficiently explored. Immunohistochemical staining of human testis samples identified filamin A (FLNA) in spermatogonia and peritubular myoid cells. Investigation of different testicular tumor samples indicated that seminoma also express FLNA. Moreover, mass spectrometric analyses identified FLNA as one of the most abundant proteins in human seminoma TCam-2 cells. We therefore focused on FLNA in TCam-2 cells, and identified by co-immunoprecipitation LAD1, RUVBL1 and DAZAP1, in addition to several cytoskeletal proteins, as interactors of FLNA. To study the role of FLNA in TCam-2 cells, we generated FLNA-deficient cells using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. Loss of FLNA causes an irregular arrangement of the actin cytoskeleton and mechanical instability, impaired adhesive properties and disturbed migratory behavior. Furthermore, transcriptional activity of typical stem cell factors is increased in the absence of FLNA. In summary, our data suggest that FLNA is crucially involved in balancing stem cell characteristics and invasive properties in human seminoma cells and possibly human testicular germ cells.
