c-MYC apoptotic function is mediated by NRF-1 target genes.
Article in Genes & development, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 55 papers.
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.
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 detailed understanding of the signaling pathways by which c-Myc elicits apoptosis has proven elusive. In the current study, we have evaluated whether the activation of the mitochondrial apoptotic signaling pathway is linked to c-Myc induction of a subset of genes involved in mitochondrial biogenesis. Cytochrome c and other nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes are regulated by the transcription factor nuclear respiratory factor-1 (NRF-1). The consensus binding sequence (T/C)GCGCA(C/T)GCGC(A/G) of NRF-1 includes a noncanonical CA(C/T)GCG Myc:MAX binding site. In this study, we establish a link between the induction of NRF-1 target genes and sensitization to apoptosis on serum depletion. We demonstrate, by using Northern analysis, transactivation assays, and in vitro and in vivo promoter binding assays that cytochrome c is a direct target of c-Myc. Like c-Myc, NRF-1 overexpression sensitizes cells to apoptosis on serum depletion. We also demonstrate that selective interference with c-Myc induction of NRF-1 target genes by using a dominant-negative NRF-1 prevented c-Myc-induced apoptosis, without affecting c-Myc-dependent proliferation. These results suggest that c-myc expression leads to mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis by deregulating genes involved in mitochondrial function.
