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

NELL2 was first identified as a mammalian homolog of the chicken NEL protein. It was expressed in neurons and has been suggested to play a role in cell survival. However, no clear evidence has yet been available for functions of NELL2. In this study, we found two E2F1 binding sites located in the NELL2 promoter region. We examined the expression of NELL2 and E2F1 in human breast cancer cells (MDA-MB231, MCF7) and bladder cancer cells (5637, UC5). In MDA-MB231 and 5637, the expression levels of NELL2 and E2F1 were higher. To examine the interaction between E2F1 and NELL2, the binding activity was checked by a promoter assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation. From the results, we suggest that NELL2 is a novel target gene of E2F1, which is a key regulator of cell proliferation. We reveal that expression of NELL2 is regulated by E2F1, specifically, mRNA and protein levels of NELL2 are elevated upon activation of exogenous E2F1. Moreover, cells overexpressing NELL2 increased their invasive ability and an enhancement of the effect was observed when NELL2 and E2F1 were coexpressed in MDA-MB231 cells. Therefore, we suggest a novel activity for NELL2 in cancer progression through the regulation of E2F1.
