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

Recently, E2F function has expanded to include the regulation of differentiation in human epidermal keratinocytes (HEKs). We extend these findings to report that in HEKs, Sp1 is a differentiation-specific activator and a downstream target of E2F-mediated suppression of the differentiation-specific marker, transglutaminase type 1 (TG-1). Deletion of elements between -0.084 to -0.034 kb of the TG-1 promoter disabled E2F1-induced suppression of promoter activity. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) demonstrated that Sp1 and Sp3 bound this region. Protein expression analysis suggested that squamous differentiation was accompanied by increased Sp1/Sp3 ratio. Cotransfection of proliferating HEKs or the squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cell line, KJD-1/SV40, with an E2F inhibitor (E2Fd/n) and Sp1 expression plasmid was sufficient to activate the TG-1 promoter. The suppression of Sp1 activity by E2F in differentiated cells appeared to be indirect since we found no evidence of an Sp1/E2F coassociation on the TG-1 promoter fragment. Moreover, E2F inhibition in the presence of a differentiation stimulus induced Sp1 protein. These data demonstrate that (i) Sp1 can act as a differentiation stimulus, (ii) E2F-mediated suppression of differentiation-specific markers is indirect via Sp1 inhibition and (iii) a combination of E2F inhibition and Sp1 activation could form the basis of a differentiation therapy for SCCs.
