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

LY6K is a cancer biomarker and a therapeutic target that induces invasion and metastasis. However, the molecular mechanisms that determine human LY6K transcription are completely unknown. To elucidate the mechanisms involved in human LY6K gene regulation and expression, multiple cis-elements were predicted using TRANSFAC software, and the LY6K regulatory region was identified using the luciferase assay in the human LY6K gene promoter. We performed ChIP, EMSA, and supershift assays to investigate the transcription factor activity on the LY6K promoter, and the effect of a SNP and CpG site methylation on AP-1 transcription factor binding affinity. AP-1 and the CREB transcription factor bound to LY6K promoter within -550/-1, which was essential for LY6K expression, but only the AP-1 heterodimer, JunD, and Fra-1, modulates LY6K gene transcriptional level. A decrease in LY6K was associated with the SNP242 C allele, a polymorphic G/C-SNP at the 242 nucleotide in the LY6K promoter region (rs2585175), or methylation of the CpG site, which was closely located with the AP-1 site by interfering with binding of the AP-1 transcription factor to the LY6K promoter. Our findings reveal an important role for AP-1 activation in promoting LY6K gene expression that regulates cell mobility of breast cancer cells, whereas the SNP242 C allele or methylation of the CpG site may reduce the risk of invasion or metastasis by interfering AP-1 activation.
