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

A novel matrix metalloproteinase-26 (MMP-26) is known to be specifically expressed in epithelial carcinomas. To facilitate studies of MMP-26 transcriptional regulation, we have cloned and characterized a 1 kb 5'-flanking region of the human MMP-26 gene. Altogether, our findings indicate that the MMP-26 promoter has distinctive structural and functional features among MMP genes. An unusual polyadenylation site proximal to the transcription-factor-binding sites protects transcription of the MMP-26 gene from the upstream promoters and represents a part of the stringent transcriptional regulation of the gene. The MMP-26 gene has a consensus TATA-box and one transcriptional start site located 60 and 35 nucleotides upstream of the translational start site, respectively. The MMP-26 promoter was able to drive luciferase expression in human A549 lung carcinoma, HT1080 fibrosarcoma and HEK293 embryonic kidney cells. The basal transcription efficiency of the MMP-26 promoter is relatively low, thereby explaining the minute expression of the gene in most cells and tissues. When compared with other MMP genes, the MMP-26 promoter contains binding sites for a few transcription factors. Sequential deletion and mutation analysis, and electrophoretic mobility-shift assay have identified the T-cell factor-4 (Tcf-4) motif and the activator protein-1 site as the major regulatory elements of the MMP-26 promoter. Since previous studies have established that the Tcf-4 transcription factor is subjected exclusively to regulation through the beta-catenin/E(epithelial)-cadherin pathway, this implies the specific expression of MMP-26 in cancer cells of epithelial origin.
