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

In the normal breast, hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is primarily expressed by stromal cells, and stimulates in a paracrine manner epithelial cells expressing the HGF receptor (Met). In invasive human breast carcinomas, HGF and Met are frequently overexpressed, possibly establishing an autocrine HGF/Met loop that promotes tumour cell invasion. However, the mechanisms leading to autocrine HGF expression in carcinoma cells are not known. We previously demonstrated a cooperative effect between c-Src and Stat3 in the activation of HGF transcription in mammary carcinoma cells. The present report defines a novel Stat3 consensus site at nt -95 in the HGF promoter that is highly conserved in human and mouse, and is required for c-Src and Stat3 to activate HGF transcription in breast epithelial cells. DNA-protein binding studies demonstrated high affinity binding of a Stat3-containing complex to the nt -95 site. Endogenous Stat3 binding to this region of the HGF promoter in carcinoma cells expressing HGF was demonstrated using a chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. In addition, coexpression of Stat3 and activated c-Src caused increased expression of endogenous HGF mRNA and protein and marked cell scattering in breast epithelial cells. Our results delineate a novel c-Src/Stat3-dependent mechanism that regulates HGF promoter activity, and is linked to transformation of mammary epithelial cells.
