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

Tenascin-C (TN-C), an extracellular matrix glycoprotein is expressed during embryonic development, but is present only at low levels in normal adult tissues. TN-C is re-expressed during wound healing, fibrotic diseases and in cancer. To better understand the mechanisms that control TN-C gene expression, we examined the regulation of the human TN-C promoter in human fibroblasts. We demonstrate that a short segment of the TN-C promoter between bp -133 and -27 contains three evolutionarily conserved Ets binding sites (EBS). These three EBSs bind in vitro expressed Fli1 protein and mediate transactivation of the TN-C gene by Fli1. Furthermore, two proximal EBSs contribute significantly to basal activity of the TN-C promoter. GABP, which is present in human fibroblast nuclear extracts, interacts with the two proximal EBSs. In addition, several Sp1 and Sp3 binding sites have been located in close proximity to the EBSs within this promoter region. The studies performed in Drosophila cells demonstrate that either Fli1 or GABPalpha+beta1 functionally interact with Sp1 resulting in a synergistic stimulation of the TN-C promoter activity. In conclusion, this study shows for the first time that the TN-C gene is regulated by Ets proteins, which together with Sp1 act as potent activators of TN-C expression.
