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

Submembrane cortical actin (CA) plays a large role in regulating the dynamic organization of cell surface receptors, which in turn regulates receptor signaling. Many receptors have short intracellular domains and no known link to actin. Here, we identified the β1-integrin subunit and several tetraspanins (CD9, CD81, and CD151) as part of the hitherto unknown molecular link between the receptor CD36 and CA. Our data indicate that CD36 in vascular endothelial cells interacts with these proteins, with stronger interactions near the cell edge. Compromising these interactions via the point mutation G12V in the N-terminal transmembrane domain of CD36 alters the dynamic organization of CD36 on the cell surface and weakens its coupling to CA dynamics. Moreover, it abolishes thrombospondin-1-induced CD36 signaling through the Src family kinase Fyn. Given their many interactions with transmembrane proteins, tetraspanins and integrins may provide a ubiquitous mechanism for plasma membrane-CA coupling.
