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

The c-ski proto-oncogene product (c-Ski) acts as a co-repressor and binds to other co-repressors N-CoR/SMRT and mSin3A which form a complex with histone deacetylase (HDAC). c-Ski mediates the transcriptional repression by a number of repressors, including nuclear hormone receptors and Mad. c-Ski also directly binds to, and recruits the HDAC complex to Smads, leading to inhibition of tumor growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) signaling. This is consistent with the function of ski as an oncogene. Here we show that loss of one copy of c-ski increases susceptibility to tumorigenesis in mice. When challenged with a chemical carcinogen, c-ski heterozygous mice showed an increased level of tumor formation relative to wild-type mice. In addition, c-ski-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) had increased proliferative capacity, whereas overexpression of c-Ski suppressed the proliferation. Furthermore, the introduction of activated Ki-ras into c-ski-deficient MEFs resulted in neoplastic transformation. These findings demonstrate that c-ski acts as a tumor suppressor in some types of cells. The level of cdc25A mRNA, which is down regulated by two tumor suppressor gene products, Rb and Mad, was upregulated in c-ski-deficient MEFs, whereas it decreased by overexpressing c-Ski in MEFs. This is consistent with the fact that c-Ski acts as a co-repressor of Mad and Rb. These results support the view that the decreased activities of Mad and Rb in ski-deficient cells at least partly contribute to enhanced proliferation and susceptibility to tumorigenesis. Human c-ski gene was mapped to a region close to the p73 tumor suppressor gene at the 1p36.3 locus, which is already known to contain multiple uncharacterized tumor suppressor genes.
