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

The FOXL2(C134W) mutation has been identified in virtually all adult granulosa cell tumors (GCTs). Here we show that the exogenous FOXL2 expression is necessary for GDF-9 stimulation of follistatin transcription in the human GCT cell line, COV434 that lacks endogenous FOXL2 expression. Interestingly, in the presence of Smad3 co-expression, FOXL2(C134W) negated GDF-9 stimulation of follistatin transcription. However, mutation of the Smad binding element (SBE) located in the intronic enhancer elements in the follistatin gene restored normal FOXL2 activity to FOXL2(C134W), thus the altered activity of FOXL2(C134W) is dependent on the ability of Smad3 to directly bind the SBE. Mutation of the FOXL2 binding element (FBE) or the FBE and SBE completely prevented GDF-9 activity, suggesting that the FBE is essential for GDF-9 stimulation in COV434. Overall, our study supports the view that altered interaction of FOXL2(C134W) with co-factors may underlie the pathogenesis of this mutation in GCTs.
