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

Transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) modulates the expression of multiple apoptotic target genes; however, a common and central signaling pathway, acting downstream of TGFβ and leading to cell death, has yet to be uncovered. Here, we show that TGFβ-induced apoptosis in cancer cells requires the transcription factor E2F1 (E2 promoter-binding factor 1). Using the E2F1 knockout mouse model, we also found E2F1 to be required for TGFβ-mediated apoptosis in normal cells. Moreover, we found TGFβ to increase E2F1 protein stability, acting at the post-translational level. We further investigated the molecular mechanisms by which E2F1 contributes to TGFβ-mediated apoptosis and found that TGFβ treatment led to the formation of a transcriptionally active E2F1-pRb-P/CAF complex on multiple TGFβ pro-apoptotic target gene promoters, thereby activating their transcription. Together, our findings define a novel process of gene activation by the TGFβ-E2F1 signaling axis and highlight E2F1 as a central mediator of the TGFβ apoptotic program.
