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 A(2B) adenosine receptor (A(2B)AR) has been described to control various vascular functions, including inhibition of smooth muscle cell proliferation. Here, we sought to understand the regulation of A(2B)AR gene expression in aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), with a focus on the proliferation phase. Assays with A(2B)AR-beta-gal aortic VSMCs, in which the endogenous A(2B)AR gene promoter drives the expression of prokaryotic beta-galactosidase (beta-gal) instead of the endogenous A(2B)AR gene, show that beta-gal expression is upregulated when the cells are induced to exit from cell cycle arrest. Similarly, the level of A(2B)AR mRNA is upregulated in proliferating primary aortic VSMCs. In search of related mechanisms, it was noted that the A(2B)AR gene promoter contains several putative binding sites for the proliferation-inducing transcription factor, B-Myb. Using a clone of the 5' region upstream of the mouse A(2B)AR gene linked to a reporter gene, B-Myb site deletion mutants were generated. It was determined that B-Myb upregulates the A(2B)AR gene promoter, and specific promoter binding sites were identified as functional. In accordance, B-Myb also elevates endogenous A(2B)AR mRNA and receptor activity, and this activity decreases cell proliferation. Our data are novel in that they show that this proliferation-inhibiting A(2B)AR is itself an inducible receptor regulated by B-Myb.
