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

Claudins are one of the major components of tight junctions (TJs) that polymerize within the cell membrane and form interactions between cells. Some claudins seal the paracellular space, limiting paracellular flux, while others form selectively permeable ion channels that control the paracellular permeability of small ions. Claudin strands are known to be dynamic and reshape within TJs to accommodate large-scale movements and rearrangements of epithelial tissues. Here, we summarize the recent computational and modeling studies on claudin assembly into tetrameric ion channels and their polymerization into μm long strands within the membrane. Computational studies ranging from all-atom molecular dynamics, coarse-grained simulations, and hybrid-resolution simulations elucidate the molecular nature of claudin assembly and function and provide a framework that describes the lateral flexibility of claudin strands.
