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

Although most Ets transcription factors have been characterized as transcriptional activators, some of them display repressor activity. Here we characterize an Ets-family member, the very specifically expressed human Fifth Ewing Variant (FEV), as a transcriptional repressor. We show that among a broad range of human cell lines, only Dami megakaryocytic cells express FEV. This nuclear protein binds to Ets-binding sites, such as that of the human ICAM-1 promoter. We used this promoter to demonstrate that FEV can repress both basal transcription and, even more strongly, ectopically Ets-activated transcription. We identified two domains responsible for FEV-mediated repression: the ETS domain, responsible for passive repression, and the carboxy-terminal alanine-rich domain, involved in active repression. In the Ets-independent LEXA system also, FEV acts as a transcriptional repressor via its alanine-rich carboxy-terminal domain. The mechanism by which FEV actively represses transcription is currently unknown, since FEV-triggered repression is not reversed by the histone deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A. We also showed that long-term overexpression of FEV proteins containing the alanine-rich domain prevents cell clones from growing, whereas clones expressing a truncated FEV protein lacking this domain develop like control cells. This confirms the importance of this domain in FEV-triggered repression.
