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

Tumor angiogenesis is characterized by deregulated gene expression in endothelial cells (EC). While studies until now have mainly focused on overexpressed genes in tumor endothelium, we here describe the identification of transcripts that are repressed in tumor endothelium and thus have potential suppressive effects on angiogenesis. We identified nineteen putative angiosuppressor genes, one of them being bromodomain containing 7 (BRD7), a gene that has been assigned tumor suppressor properties. BRD7 was studied in more detail, and we demonstrate that BRD7 expression is inversely related to EC activation. Ectopic expression of BRD7 resulted in a dramatic reduction of EC proliferation and viability. Furthermore, overexpression of BRD7 resulted in a bromodomain-dependent induction of NFκB-activity and NFκB-dependent gene expression, including ICAM1, enabling leukocyte-endothelial interactions. In silico functional annotation analysis of genome-wide expression data on BRD7 knockdown and overexpression revealed that the transcriptional signature of low BRD7 expressing cells is associated with increased angiogenesis (a.o. upregulation of angiopoietin-2, VEGF receptor-1 and neuropilin-1), cytokine activity (a.o. upregulation of CXCL1 and CXCL6), and a reduction of immune surveillance (TNF-α, NFκB, ICAM1). Thus, combining in silico and in vitro data reveals multiple pathways of angiosuppressor and anti-tumor activities of BRD7.
