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

backgroundProtein kinase D3 (PKD3) is a member of the PKD family that has been implicated in many intracellular signalling pathways. However, defined statements regarding PKD isoform specificity and in vivo functions are rare.

methodsHere, we use PKD3-depleted mouse embryonic fibroblast cells and employ various cell culture-based assays and fluorescence microscopy.

resultsWe show that PKD3 is involved in the regulation of cytokinesis after immortalisation by modulating RhoA activity through a PKCε/PKD3 signalling axis.

conclusionsPKD3 depletion leads to prolonged RhoA activity during cytokinesis, resulting in failed abscission and an increase in the number of multinucleated cells. This identifies a novel, previously unrecognised PKCε/PKD3 pathway involved in the modulation of cytokinesis.
