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 p27 protein plays a critical role in cell cycle arrest. Our previous studies have demonstrated that recombinant P40 protein from Schistosoma japonicum (rSjP40) could induce G1 phase arrest of cell cycle. We, therefore, attempted to observe the effect of rSjP40 on p27 promoter activity in LX-2 cells and to explore its potential mechanisms in this study. Using both Western blot and dual-luciferase reporter assay, we demonstrated that rSjP40 could enhance the expression of p27 in LX-2 cells. Results obtained using truncated fragments of p27 promoter showed that rSjP40 increased p27 promoter activity in LX-2 cells, mainly via some transcription factors that bind to the -1740/-873 region of p27 promoter. Further studies confirmed that the enhancement of p27 promoter activity induced by rSjP40 was related to E2F1 in LX-2 cells. Transfection of siRNA of E2F1 could also restore the effect of rSjP40 on expression of p27 and partially on α-SMA. Therefore, our study provided further insights into the mechanism by which rSjP40 induces LX-2 cell cycle arrest at G1 phase and inhibits HSC activation. Our results provide basis for future study of the blocking effect of rSjP40 in liver fibrosis.
