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 extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex meshwork comprising over 100 proteins. It serves as an adhesive substrate for cells and, hence, plays crucial roles in health and disease. We have recently identified a novel ECM protein, SNED1, and have found that it is required for neural crest cell migration and craniofacial morphogenesis during development and in breast cancer, where it is necessary for the metastatic dissemination of tumor cells. Interestingly, both processes involve the dynamic remodeling of cell-ECM adhesions via cell surface receptors. Sequence analysis revealed that SNED1 contains two amino acid motifs, RGD and LDV, known to bind integrins, the largest class of ECM receptors. We thus sought to investigate the role of SNED1 in cell adhesion. Here, we report that SNED1 mediates breast cancer and neural crest cell adhesion via its RGD motif. We further demonstrate that cell adhesion to SNED1 is mediated by the RGD integrins α5β1 and αvβ3. These findings are a first step toward identifying the signaling pathways activated downstream of the SNED1-integrin interactions guiding craniofacial morphogenesis and breast cancer metastasis.
