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

Nitric oxide (NO) produced by endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) modulates many functions in endothelial cells. S-nitrosylation (SNO) of cysteine residues on β-catenin by eNOS-derived NO has been shown to influence intercellular contacts between endothelial cells. However, the implication of SNO in the regulation of β-catenin transcriptional activity is ill defined. Here, we report that NO inhibits the transcriptional activity of β-catenin and endothelial cell proliferation induced by activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Interestingly, induction by Wnt3a of β-catenin target genes, such as the axin2 gene, is repressed in an eNOS-dependent manner by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). We identified Cys466 of β-catenin as a target for SNO by eNOS-derived NO and as the critical residue for the repressive effects of NO on β-catenin transcriptional activity. Furthermore, we observed that Cys466 of β-catenin, located at the binding interface of the β-catenin-TCF4 transcriptional complex, is essential for disruption of this complex by NO. Importantly, Cys466 of β-catenin is necessary for the inhibitory effects of NO on Wnt3a-stimulated proliferation of endothelial cells. Thus, our data define the mechanism responsible for the repressive effects of NO on the transcriptional activity of β-catenin and link eNOS-derived NO to the modulation by VEGF of Wnt/β-catenin-induced endothelial cell proliferation.
