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

Estrogen is an important regulator of dermal fibroblast functions, including extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis. Estrogen mediates its effects through estrogen receptors (ERs), ERα and ERβ; however, regulation of ERs in dermal fibroblasts remains poorly understood. Friend leukemia integration factor 1 (Fli1), a member of the Ets transcription factor family, has been shown to play a pivotal role in regulation of the ECM genes in dermal fibroblasts. The aim of this study was to examine a possible interaction between Fli1 and estrogen pathways, focusing on ERα. We show that treatment of human dermal fibroblasts with transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) increases ERα protein and mRNA levels. Similarly, ERα expression was increased in response to small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated depletion of Fli1, suggesting that Fli1 is a mediator of the TGF-β effects on ERα expression. Accordingly, we showed that Fli1 binds to the most proximal region of the ERα promoter, and dissociates from the promoter upon TGF-β treatment. An inverse correlation between Fli1 and ERα expression levels was confirmed in cultured skin fibroblasts obtained from Fli1(+/-) mice and in the skin of Fli1(+/-) mice in vivo. This study supports a role of Fli1 as a negative regulator of the ERα gene in dermal fibroblasts.
