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

Galectin-1 is a member of the galectin family and has a high affinity for galactose and N-acetylglucosamine moieties of glycoproteins. It mediates multiple signal transduction pathways to modulate cellular proliferation, survival, differentiation, and migration. However, the mechanisms for the regulation of its expression remain greatly elusive. We reported previously that galectin-1 is a direct target of the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1), a key heterodimeric transcriptional factor for the cellular response to hypoxia. Here we show that CCAAT/enhancer binding protein α (C/EBPα), a critical transcriptional factor for hematopoietic cell differentiation, can directly activate galectin-1 through binding to the -48 to -42 bp region of its promoter. Based on the physical interaction of C/EBPα and HIF-1α, the synergistic transcriptional activity of C/EBPα and HIF-1α on the promoter of the galectin-1 gene is also found by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), ChIP followed by ChIP (ChIP-reChIP), and luciferase assay. Moreover, knockdown or chemical inhibition of galectin-1 partially blocks the differentiation induced by HIF-1α or C/EBPα, which can be rescued by recombinant galectin-1. These discoveries would shed new insights on the mechanisms for galectin-1 expression regulation and HIF-1α- and C/EBPα-induced leukemic cell differentiation.
