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

The genetic basis of vertebrate emergence during metazoan evolution has remained largely unknown. Understanding vertebrate-specific genes, such as the tight junction protein Occludin (Ocln), may help answer this question. Here, it is shown that mammary glands lacking Ocln exhibit retarded epithelial branching, owing to reduced cell proliferation and surface expansion. Interestingly, Ocln regulates mitotic spindle orientation and function, and its loss leads to a range of defects, including prolonged prophase and failed nuclear and/or cytoplasmic division. Mechanistically, Ocln binds to the RabGTPase-11 adaptor FIP5 and recruits recycling endosomes to the centrosome to participate in spindle assembly and function. FIP5 loss recapitulates Ocln null, leading to prolonged prophase, reduced cell proliferation, and retarded epithelial branching. These results identify a novel role in OCLN-mediated endosomal trafficking and potentially highlight its involvement in mediating membranous vesicle trafficking and function, which is evolutionarily conserved and essential.
