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

To enter mitosis, most adherent animal cells reduce adhesion, which is followed by cell rounding. How mitotic cells regulate adhesion to neighboring cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins is poorly understood. Here we report that, similar to interphase, mitotic cells can employ integrins to initiate adhesion to the ECM in a kindlin- and talin-dependent manner. However, unlike interphase cells, we find that mitotic cells cannot engage newly bound integrins to actomyosin via talin or vinculin to reinforce adhesion. We show that the missing actin connection of newly bound integrins leads to transient ECM-binding and prevents cell spreading during mitosis. Furthermore, β1 integrins strengthen the adhesion of mitotic cells to adjacent cells, which is supported by vinculin, kindlin, and talin1. We conclude that this dual role of integrins in mitosis weakens the cell-ECM adhesion and strengthens the cell-cell adhesion to prevent delamination of the rounding and dividing cell.
