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 transformation suppressor gene, programmed cell death gene 4 (Pdcd4), inhibits tumor-promoter-mediated transformation of mouse keratinocytes and has been implicated as a tumor suppressor gene in the development of human cancer. The Pdcd4 protein interacts with translation initiation factors eIF4A and eIF4G and binds to RNA, suggesting that it might be involved in regulating protein translation or other aspects of RNA metabolism. To study the function of Pdcd4 in more detail, we have downregulated Pdcd4 expression in HeLa cells by stable expression of shRNA. We have found that diminished Pdcd4 expression leads to increased expression of p21(Waf1/Cip1) and several other p53-regulated genes. Reporter gene studies demonstrate that Pdcd4 interferes with the activation of p53-responsive promoters genes by p53. Pdcd4 knockdown cells show decreased apoptosis and increased survival after UV irradiation. Taken together, our observations suggest a model in which low Pdcd4 expression after DNA damage favors the survival of cells, which would be eliminated by apoptosis under normal levels of Pdcd4 expression. Our results provide the first evidence that Pdcd4 is important role in the DNA-damage response and suggest that low levels of Pdcd4 expression observed in certain tumor cells contribute to tumorigenesis by affecting the fate of DNA-damaged cells.
