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

Expression of the transcription factor Snail is required for normal vasculogenesis in the developing mouse embryo. In addition, tumors expressing Snail have been associated with a more malignant phenotype, with both increased invasive properties and angiogenesis. Although the relationship between Snail and vasculogenesis has been noted, no mechanistic analysis has been elucidated. Here, we show that in addition to inducing an epithelial mesenchymal transition, Snail promotes the cell-autonomous induction of Flk1(+) endothelial cells in an early subset of differentiating mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. Cells that become Flk1+ in response to Snail have a transcriptional profile specific to Gata6+primitive endoderm, but not the early Nanog+epiblast. We further show that Snail's ability to promote Flk1(+) endothelium depends on fibroblast growth factor signaling as well as the repression of the microRNA-200 (miR-200) family, which directly targets the 3' UTRs of Flk1 and Ets1. Together, our results show that Snail is capable of inducing Flk1+ lineage commitment in a subset of differentiating ES cells through the down-regulation of the miR-200 family. We hypothesize that this mechanism of Snail-induced vasculogenesis may be conserved in both the early developing embryo and malignant cancers.
