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

Nck is a widely expressed SH2/SH3 adaptor protein containing one SH2 and three SH3 domains. Although Nck is assumed to mediate the formation of protein-protein complexes during signaling, little is currently known about its specific function. We have constructed a series of Nck SH3 and SH2 domain mutants, expressed them in Xenopus laevis embryos, and monitored injected embryos for developmental abnormalities. This approach allows correlation of developmental phenotypes with the presence or absence of specific Nck protein-binding domains. We show that microinjection of RNA-encoding Nck with an inactivating mutation in the third SH3 domain (NckK229) into dorsal blastomeres of early embryos caused anterior truncation with high frequency, and membrane localization of both the first and second SH3 domains together was sufficient to induce this anterior-truncation phenotype. Molecular marker analysis of explants revealed that the expression of NckK229 ventralized dorsal mesoderm. Lineage tracing experiments demonstrated that the expression of Nck K229 in dorsal blastomeres affected the migratory properties of mesoderm cells in gastrulation and led to the adoption of a more posterior fate. These data suggest that protein(s) that bind the first and second SH3 domains of Nck can affect the response to signals that establish dorso-ventral patterning, and that protein(s) that bind the third SH3 domain antagonize the ventralizing effect of the first two SH3 domains.
