Absence of EPAC1 Signaling to Stabilize CFTR in Intestinal Organoids.
Article in Cells, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The plasma membrane (PM) stability of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), the protein which when mutated causes Cystic Fibrosis (CF), relies on multiple interaction partners that connect CFTR to signaling pathways, including cAMP signaling. It was previously shown that activation of exchange protein directly activated by cAMP 1 (EPAC1) by cAMP promotes an increase in CFTR PM levels in airway epithelial cells. However, the relevance of this pathway in other tissues, particularly the intestinal tissue, remains uncharacterized. Here, we used Western blot and forskolin-induced swelling assay to demonstrate that the EPAC1 protein is not expressed in the intestinal organoid model, and consequently the EPAC1 stabilization pathway is not in place. On the other hand, using cell surface biotinylation, EPAC1-mediated stabilization of PM CFTR is observed in intestinal cell lines. These results indicate that the EPAC1 stabilization pathway also occurs in intestinal cells and is a potential target for the development of novel combinatorial therapies for treatment of CF.
