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

Nuclear receptors (NRs) are lipid ligand-binding transcription factors, with 48 members having been identified in humans to date. They are involved in diverse physiological processes, including development and homeostasis, and are also implicated in the pathogenesis of various diseases, most notably cancer. While NR activity is primarily regulated by specific ligand binding, posttranslational modifications, particularly phosphorylation, also play a critical role in modulating their function. Recently, we identified a novel signaling pathway linking claudins (CLDNs), cell-cell adhesion proteins, to NRs. CLDN-mediated cell-cell adhesion activates Src family kinases (SFKs), leading to serine phosphorylation of several NRs. This newly-discovered CLDN-NR pathway contributes to epithelial differentiation in stem cells and promotes cancer progression. In this review, we discuss the biological significance and underlying mechanisms of this, tracing the development of our research.
