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

CYRI proteins promote lamellipodial dynamics by opposing Rac1-mediated activation of the Scar/WAVE complex. This activity also supports resolution of macropinocytic cups, promoting internalisation of surface proteins, including integrins. Here, we show that CYRI-B also promotes focal adhesion maturation and dynamics. Focal adhesions in CYRI-B-depleted cells show accelerated maturation and become excessively large. We probed the composition of these enlarged focal adhesions, using a Bio-ID screen, with paxillin as bait. Our screen revealed changes in adhesion proteins proximal to paxillin suggesting early activation of stress fibre contraction and depletion of the integrin internalisation mediator ERC1. Lack of CYRI-B leads to more stable lamellipodia and accumulation of polymerised actin in stress fibres. This actin acts as a barrier to microtubule targeting for adhesion turnover. Thus, our studies reveal an important connection between lamellipodia dynamics controlled by CYRI-B and microtubule targeting of ERC1 to modulate adhesion maturation and turnover.
