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

We have used mutant macrophages which are deficient in expression of Src-family kinases to define an integrin signaling pathway that is required for macrophage adhesion and migration. Following ligation of surface integrins by fibronectin, the p120(c-cbl) (Cbl) protein rapidly becomes tyrosine phosphorylated and associated with the Src-family kinases Fgr and Lyn. In hck-/-fgr-/-lyn-/- triple mutant cells, which are defective in spreading on fibronectin-coated surfaces in vitro and show impaired migration in vivo, Cbl tyrosine phosphorylation is blocked, Cbl protein levels are low, adhesion-dependent translocation of Cbl to the membrane is impaired and Cbl-associated, membrane-localized phosphatidylinositol 3 (PI-3)-kinase activity is dramatically reduced. In contrast, adhesion-dependent activation of total cellular PI-3 kinase activity is normal in mutant cells, demonstrating that it is the membrane-associated fraction of PI-3 kinase which is most critical in regulating actin cytoskeletal rearrangements that lead to cell spreading. Treatment of wild-type cells with the Src-family-specific inhibitor PP1, Cbl antisense oligonucleotides or pharmacological inhibitors of PI-3 kinase blocks cell spreading on fibronectin surfaces. These data provide a molecular description for the role of Src-family kinases Hck, Fgr and Lyn in beta 1-integrin signal transduction in macrophages.
