Dual recruitment of two CCM2 molecules to KRIT1 suppresses KLF4 expression.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Regulated expression of Kruppel like factor (KLF) transcription factors is essential for normal maintenance of endothelial cells, but loss of either K-Rev interaction trapped 1 (KRIT1) or cerebral cavernous malformations 2 (CCM2) proteins results in significant over-expression of KLF4 protein, causing the cerebrovascular disorder, cerebral cavernous malformations. Here, combining knockdown and reconstitution in an endothelial cell line, with co-immunoprecipitation, biophysical analysis of purified proteins, and co-crystallography, we find that to restrain KLF4 expression, two CCM2 proteins must cluster on a single KRIT1, with the PTB domain of each CCM2 protein binding either the second or third NPxF motif within KRIT1. This clustering of two PTB domains to a single peptide reveals a previously unobserved mechanism for PTB domain recruitment to partner proteins. Overall, our data support a model where clustering of two CCM2 molecules to one KRIT1 is required for normal regulation of expression of KLF4 transcription factor.
