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 transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta)-Smad signaling pathway inhibits the growth of human epithelial cells and plays a role in tumor suppression. The Smad4 gene is mutated or deleted in 50% of pancreatic cancers. In this study, the Smad4-null pancreatic cancer cell line BxPC-3 was transfected with either the Smad4 expression vector or the empty vector and incubated in the presence or absence of TGF-beta. The cells were analysed using a cDNA microarray, which included 2280 named genes to screen for target genes regulated by TGF-beta in either a Smad4-dependent or -independent manner. The microarray and subsequent quantitative RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that the Smad4-independent and -dependent signaling pathways driven by TGF-beta upregulated only one of the 2280 genes, respectively, suggesting that Smad4-independent signaling downstream of TGF-beta might be as widespread as Smad4-dependent signaling. In this study, we demonstrated that the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21/WAF1, which has been considered the major effector of the Smad-dependent growth inhibitory signal of TGF-beta, is upregulated in a Smad4-independent manner. The upregulation occurs through Smad2/3-dependent transcriptional activation of the p21/WAF1 promoter region. These results suggest a novel mechanism of gene regulation, that is, a novel signal mediator other than Smad4.
