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

Signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs) comprise a unique family of transcription factors, which transmit the interactions of cytokines, hormones and growth factors with their cell surface receptors into transcriptional programs. The mechanism of STAT activation has been well-established and comprises tyrosine phosphorylation, dimerization, nuclear translocation, binding to specific DNA response elements, recruitment of co-activators or co-repressors and transcriptional induction or repression of target genes. Gene deletion, microarrays, proteomics and chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments have revealed target genes with a broad range of functions regulated by STAT3 and STAT5. In the mammary gland, STAT5-induced genes contribute mainly to the prolactin dependent lobulo-alveolar development, whereas STAT3 induced genes control apoptosis during involution. Crucial effects have also been observed in other tissues. The germ line deletion of STAT3 or STAT5 causes early embryonal or perinatal lethality in mice. STAT5 is also required for proliferation of T- and B-cells and hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal. Deregulated STAT activity is often found associated with tumorigenesis and activated STATs seem to be limiting components in tumor cells. This review summarizes the functions of STAT3 and STAT5 in different cell types and the strategies that are used to counteract their action in tumor cells.
