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

Interactions between RNA binding proteins (RBPs) and genes are not well understood, especially in regulation of angiogenesis. The RBP HuR binds to the AU-rich (ARE) regions of labile mRNAs, facilitating their translation into protein and has been hypothesized to be a tumor-maintenance gene. Elevated levels of cytoplasmic HuR directly correlate with increased invasiveness and poor prognosis for many cancers, including those of the breast. HuR controls the expression of multiple genes involved in angiogenesis including VEGFα, HIF1α and thrombospondin 1 (TSP1). We investigated the role of HuR in estrogen receptor negative (ER(-)) breast cancer. MDA-MB-231 cells with higher levels of HuR have alterations in cell cycle kinetics and faster growth. Unexpectedly, HuR overexpression significantly interfered with tumor growth in orthotopic mouse models. The putative mechanism seems to be an anti-angiogenetic effect by increasing expression of TSP1 but also surprisingly, downregulating VEGF, a target which HuR normally increases. Our findings reveal that HuR may be regulating a cluster of genes involved in blood vessel formation which controls tumor angiogenesis. An approach of modulating HuR levels may overcome limitations associated with monotherapies targeting tumor vessel formation.
