PTEN and the PTEN-like phosphatase CnrN have both distinct and overlapping roles in a Dictyostelium chemorepulsion pathway.
Article in Journal of cell science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Little is known about eukaryotic chemorepulsion. The enzymes phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and CnrN dephosphorylate phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PI(3,4,5)P3] to phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2]. Dictyostelium discoideum cells require both PTEN and CnrN to induce chemorepulsion of cells away from the secreted chemorepellent protein AprA. How D. discoideum cells utilize two proteins with redundant phosphatase activities in response to AprA is unclear. Here, we show that D. discoideum cells require both PTEN and CnrN to locally inhibit Ras activation, decrease basal levels of PI(3,4,5)P3 and increase basal numbers of macropinosomes, and AprA prevents this increase. AprA requires both PTEN and CnrN to increase PI(4,5)P2 levels, decrease PI(3,4,5)P3 levels, inhibit proliferation, decrease myosin II phosphorylation and increase filopod sizes. PTEN, but not CnrN, decreases basal levels of PI(4,5)P2, and AprA requires PTEN, but not CnrN, to induce cell roundness. Together, our results suggest that CnrN and PTEN play unique roles in AprA-induced chemorepulsion.
