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

VE-cadherin is a major component of the cell adhesion machinery which provides integrity and plasticity of the barrier function of endothelial junctions. Here, we analyze whether ubiquitination of VE-cadherin is involved in the regulation of the endothelial barrier in inflammation in vivo. We show that histamine and thrombin stimulate ubiquitination of VE-cadherin in HUVEC, which is completely blocked if the two lysine residues K626 and K633 are replaced by arginine. Similarly, these mutations block histamine-induced endocytosis of VE-cadherin. We describe two knock-in mouse lines with endogenous VE-cadherin being replaced by either a VE-cadherin K626/633R or a VE-cadherin KallR mutant, where all seven lysine residues are mutated. Mutant mice are viable, healthy and fertile with normal expression levels of junctional VE-cadherin. Histamine- or LPS-induced vascular permeability in the skin or lung of both of these mutant mice are clearly and similarly reduced in comparison to WT mice. Additionally, we detect a role of K626/633 for lysosomal targeting. Collectively, our findings identify ubiquitination of VE-cadherin as important for the induction of vascular permeability in the inflamed skin and lung.
