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

A mimic of phosphorylated prolactin (S179D PRL) inhibits mouse normal mammary HC11 cell proliferation through the upregulation of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and p21. Here, we investigated whether S179D PRL also inhibited growth of human breast cancer MCF7 cells via VDR and p21. Western blots showed that S179D PRL upregulated VDR and p21 after the cells were incubated with S179D PRL for 3 days. These effects were blocked by the MAP kinase blocker PD98059 (25 μM), indicating that MAPK plays a role in VDR and p21 upregulation. To confirm whether VDR contributes to p21 upregulation, we used two constructs that express luciferase. One (p21 VDRE Luc) has the vitamin D response element (VDRE) in the p21 promoter region; the other (p21 NO-VDRE Luc) does not. The results show that S179D PRL upregulated p21 VDRE Luc activity in p21 VDRE Luc-transfected cells more than in p21 NO-VDRE-transfected cells, indicating that S179D PRL upregulated p21 via VDR. A cell proliferation assay showed that S179D PRL inhibits cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner.
