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 occurrence of pathologically stable mRNAs of proto-oncogenes, growth factors and cyclins has been proposed to contribute to experimental and human oncogenesis. In normal resting cells, mRNAs containing an AU-rich element (ARE) in their 3' untranslated region are subjected to rapid degradation. Tristetraprolin (TTP) is an RNA-binding zinc-finger protein that promotes decay of ARE-containing mRNAs. Here we report that TTP acts as a potent tumor suppressor in a v-H-ras-dependent mast cell tumor model, where tumors express abnormally stable interleukin-3 (IL-3) mRNA as part of an oncogenic autocrine loop. Premalignant v-H-ras cells were transfected with TTP and injected into syngeneic mice. TTP expression delayed tumor progression by 4 weeks, and late appearing tumors escaped suppression by loss of TTP. When transfected into a fully established tumor line, TTP reduced cloning efficiency in vitro and growth of the inoculated cells in vivo. Transgenic TTP interfered with the autocrine loop by enhancing the degradation of IL-3 mRNA with concomitant reduction of IL-3 secretion. Our data establish the ARE as an antioncogenic target in a model situation, underline the importance of mRNA stabilization in oncogenesis and show for the first time that tumor suppression can be achieved by interfering with mRNA turnover.
