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

Talin-1 (TLN1) is best known to activate integrin receptors and transmit mechanical stimuli to the actin cytoskeleton at focal adhesions. However, the localization of TLN1 is not restricted to focal adhesions. By utilizing both subcellular fractionations and confocal microscopy analyses, we show that TLN1 localizes to the nucleus in several human cell lines, where it is tightly associated with the chromatin. Importantly, small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated depletion of endogenous TLN1 triggers extensive changes in the gene expression profile of human breast epithelial cells. To determine the functional impact of nuclear TLN1, we expressed a TLN1 fusion protein containing a nuclear localization signal. Our findings revealed that the accumulation of nuclear TLN1 alters the expression of a subset of genes and impairs the formation of cell-cell clusters. This study introduces an additional perspective on the canonical view of TLN1 subcellular localization and function.
