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

Early growth response (Egr)-1 is a transcription factor that triggers transcription of downstream genes within 15-30 min of various stimulations. These genes are expressed rapidly through specific promoter activation and mediate cell growth and angiogenesis. Following the previous computational identification of a site that was thought to be an Egr-1 consensus binding site at -273 to -281 in the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) promoter region, the present study was conducted to evaluate the role of Egr-1 in the regulation of hTERT and telomerase in uterine cervical cancer. First, the expression of Egr-1 and hTERT at the mRNA level was examined in cervical cancer tissues. Egr-1 and hTERT were expressed much higher in cervical cancer tissues than in the normal cervix. However, a negative correlation was noted in the expression between Egr-1 and hTERT. By luciferase assay using hTERT promoter constructs, hTERT transcriptional activation was shown to be inhibited when Egr-1 was overexpressed. Furthermore, Egr-1 overexpression decreased hTERT protein production as well as hTERT mRNA as observed by western blotting analysis and real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, respectively. The present study suggests that Egr-1 plays an important regulatory role in the transcriptional activation of hTERT.
