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

Notch signaling pathway activity, particularly fluctuations in the biologically active effector fragment NICD, is required for rapid and efficient dynamic regulation of proper fate decisions in stem cells. In this study, we identified NEDD4-binding protein 1 (N4BP1), which is highly expressed in the developing mouse cerebral cortex, as a negative modulator of Notch signaling dynamics in neural progenitor cells. Intriguingly, N4BP1 regulated NICD stability specifically after Notch1 S3 cleavage through ubiquitin-mediated degradation that depended on its RAM domain, not its PEST domain, as had been extensively and previously described. The CoCUN domain in N4BP1, particularly the "Phe-Pro" motif (862/863 amino acid), was indispensable for mediating NICD degradation. The Ring family E3 ligase Trim21 was, in contrast to other NEDD4 family members, required for N4BP1-regulated NICD degradation. Overexpression of N4BP1 in cortical neural progenitors promoted neural stem cell differentiation, whereas neural progenitor cells lacking N4BP1 were sensitized to Notch signaling, resulting in the maintenance of stem-like properties in neural progenitor cells and lower production of cortical neurons.
