Binding requirements for latent transforming growth factor Beta2 activation.

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
Although the mechanism for activation of latent TGFβ1 and TGFβ3 is understood to involve the binding of the TGFβ propeptide (LAP) to both an integrin and an insoluble substrate, the activation of latent TGFβ2 has been unclear because the TGFβ2 LAP does not have the classical integrin binding sequence found in the other two TGFβ isoform LAPs. To assess the potential requirement for covalent linkage with a matrix or cell surface protein for the activation of latent TGFβ2, we generated mice in which the TGFβ2 Cys residue predicted to be involved in binding was mutated to Ser (
