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

backgroundInteractions between tissue factor (TF) and β1-integrin induce cell signals, but the molecular mechanisms are not completely understood. The extracellular domain of TF and EGF4-βTD domains of β1-integrin were hypothesised to be the most likely domains involved in the interaction. Additionally, the interaction may induce a conformational change in β1-integrin, which results in changes in signalling.

methodsPeptide constructs corresponding to the upper (residues 1-110; UED), lower (residues 106-219; LED) or combined extracellular domain (residues 1-219; TED) of TF were produced, as well as peptides corresponding to EGF4-βTD or EGF4 domains of β1-integrin. These constructs were expressed in TF-rich MDA-MB-231 cells and TF-deficient primary endothelial cells. The association of the peptides with endogenous-TF or β1-integrin was assessed by a proximity ligation assay and co-immunoprecipitation. Additionally, the influence of the constructs on β1-integrin conformation and the outcome on ERK1/2 activation, cyclin D expression and cell proliferation was analysed.

resultsIn MDA-MB-231 cells, all TF-constructs were associated with β1-integrin whilst LED was co-immunopurified with β1-integrin. EGF4-βTD was associated with and co-immunopurified with endogenous TF. Additionally, the expression of UED or EGF4-βTD reduced ERK phosphorylation and cyclin D expression and suppressed proliferation. In endothelial cells, the expression of UED, and to a lesser extent, LED, reduced the proportion of β1-integrin in the active conformation and induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation but did not induce cyclin D expression or proliferation.

conclusionsCollectively, these data indicate the extracellular domains of TF function together, with the lower domain forming a robust interaction with the βTD of β1-integrin and the upper domain inducing cell signalling by regulating β1-integrin conformation.
