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

Unr (upstream of N-ras) is a cytoplasmic RNA-binding protein involved in the regulation of messenger RNA stability and internal initiation of translation. We have used Unr-deficient murine embryonic stem (ES) cells to analyse Unr role in cell proliferation and response to stress. Disruption of both unr gene copies had no effect on ES cell proliferation. However, after ionizing radiation (IR), clonogenic survival of unr(-/-) ES cells was approximately 3-fold enhanced as compared to unr(+/+) cells. We further determined that IR-induced apoptosis was decreased in unr(-/-) ES cells, and that reintroduction of the unr gene in unr(-/-) cells restored normal IR-induced apoptosis. Three pro-apoptotic genes, p53, caspase-3 and Gadd45gamma, were downregulated in unr(-/-) ES cells, indicating that Unr, as other cytoplasmic RNA-binding proteins, regulates a complex genetic program, promoting cell death after IR. In contrast, in the human hepatoma cell line HuH7, Unr knockdown using unr-specific small interfering RNAs induced apoptosis, both in untreated and gamma-irradiated cells. Thus, our results establish that Unr acts as a positive or negative regulator of cell death, depending on the cell type. Manipulating the level of Unr may constitute a specific approach to sensitize cancer cells to anticancer treatments.
