Chloride intracellular channel (CLIC) protein function in S1P-induced Rac1 activation requires membrane localization of the C-terminus, but not thiol-transferase nor ion channel activities.

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

We have established a novel and evolutionarily-conserved function for chloride intracellular channel proteins (CLICs) in regulating Rho/Rac GTPases downstream of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Endothelial CLIC1 and CLIC4 are rapidly and transiently re-localized from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane in response to the GPCR ligand sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), and both CLICs are required to activate Rac1 in response to S1P, but how they perform this function remains unknown. Biochemical studies suggest that CLICs act as non-specific ion channels and/or as glutathione-S-transferases, dependent on N-terminal features,
