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 Wnt signalling pathway can activate transcription of genes such as c-myc through beta-catenin. Here, we describe the protein breakpoint cluster region, Bcr, as a negative regulator of this pathway. Bcr can form a complex with beta-catenin and negatively regulate expression of c-Myc. Knockdown of Bcr by short interfering RNA relieves the block and activates expression of c-Myc. Expression of Bcr in the human colon carcinoma cell line HCT116, which has a high level of endogenous beta-catenin, leads to reduced c-Myc expression. The negative effect is exerted by the amino terminus of Bcr, which does not harbour the kinase domain. Bcr-Abl, the oncogene protein expressed in chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML), does not bind to beta-catenin. It phosphorylates Bcr in the first exon sequence on tyrosines, which abrogates the binding of Bcr to beta-catenin. The inhibitor of the Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase, STI-571 or Gleevec, a drug against CML, reverses this effect. Our data contribute to the understanding of Bcr as a tumour suppressor in the Wnt signalling pathway, as well as in CML.
