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

During peripheral nervous system development, Schwann cells undergo Rac1-dependent cytoskeletal reorganization as they insert cytoplasmic extensions into axon bundles to sort and myelinate individual axons. However, our understanding of the direct effectors targeted by Rac1 is limited. Here, we demonstrate that striatin-3 and MOB4 are Rac1 interactors. We show that Schwann-cell-specific ablation of striatin-3 causes defects in lamellipodia formation, and conditional Schwann cell knockout for striatins presents a severe delay in radial sorting. Finally, we demonstrate that deletion of Rac1 or striatin-1/3 in Schwann cells causes defects in the activation of Hippo pathway effectors YAP and TAZ and the expression of genes co-regulated by YAP and TAZ, such as extracellular matrix receptors. In summary, our results indicate that striatin-3 is a Rac1 interactor and that striatins are required for peripheral nervous system development and reveal a role for Rac1 in the regulation of the Hippo pathway in Schwann cells.
