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

Vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin is exclusively expressed at interendothelial junctions of normal and tumour vessels. In this report, we characterized the transcriptional activity of the human VE-cadherin promoter. Transient transfection assays revealed that sequences at positions --1135/-744 and -166/-5 base pairs are critical for promoter activity in endothelial cells. We show that specific sequences in the proximal region interact with Ets and Sp1 family members. Transgenic mice were created and the human VE-cadherin promoter was able to confer correct temporal and spatial expression on the LacZ gene in embryos. In adults, the transgene was specifically and strongly expressed in the lung, heart, ovary, spleen and kidney glomeruli, whereas expression was weak or absent in the vasculature of other organs, including the brain, thymus, liver and skeletal muscle. Neovessels in tumour grafts and Matrigel implants harboured strong stainings, indicating that promoter activity is enhanced in angiogenic situations. Furthermore, Matrigel and transfection assays showed that VE-cadherin promoter is subjected to bFGF induction. Transgene expression was also noticed in extravascular sites of the central nervous system, suggesting that silencer elements may be located elsewhere in the gene. These results are a first step towards addressing the organ- and tumour-specific regulation of the VE-cadherin gene.
