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

Ezrin is a crucial structural protein that connects the plasma membrane to the actin cytoskeleton to maintain cell shape, adhesion, and motility. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) play a key role in the regulation of various biological functions and have been implicated in a range of pathological conditions. With the help of PTMs, ezrin not only plays a structural role in connecting the cell membrane to F-actin, but also participates in transmitting cellular signals including those related to inflammatory responses. In this study, we reviewed the key sites and domains involved in the different PTMs of ezrin, including acetylation, lactylation and phosphorylation. We analyzed the regulation of biological processes mediated by different PTMs of ezrin, such as cell migration, inflammation regulation and cell stiffness. In addition, we examined the mutual regulatory effects of different modifications of ezrin, including regulation of ezrin phosphorylation by kinases and phosphatases, and so on. Increasing evidence suggests that PTMs of ezrin are involved in cancer, respiratory diseases and urological diseases. These studies provide novel insights into the design of new disease treatment strategies targeting ezrin.
