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

Groucho related genes encode transcriptional repressor proteins critical for normal developmental processes. The bone morphogenetic proteins belong to the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily and play important signaling roles in development and disease. However, the regulation of BMP signaling, especially within cells, is largely unknown. In this report, we show that expression of the Groucho related gene Grg4 robustly activates the expression of a BMP reporter gene, as well as enhancing and sustaining the upregulation of the endogenous Id1 gene induced by BMP7. BMP7 administration did not affect the endogenous level of Grg4 nor did it enhance the phosphorylation of receptor activated Smad proteins. Rather, Grg4 expression reduced the levels of the endogenous inhibitory Smad7, thus increasing the transcriptional responses mediated by BMP responsive sequences. The data point to a novel mechanisms for attenuating BMP signaling through altering the ratio of activating versus inhibitory Smad proteins.
