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 splicing factor Sam68 is upregulated in many human cancers, including prostate cancer (PCa) where it promotes cell proliferation and survival. Nevertheless, in spite of its frequent upregulation in cancer, the mechanism(s) underlying its expression are largely unknown. Herein, bioinformatics analyses identified the promoter region of the Sam68 gene (KHDRBS1) and the proto-oncogenic transcription factor c-MYC as a key regulator of Sam68 expression. Upregulation of Sam68 and c-MYC correlate in PCa patients. c-MYC directly binds to and activates the Sam68 promoter. Furthermore, c-MYC affects productive splicing of the nascent Sam68 transcript by modulating the transcriptional elongation rate within the gene. Importantly, c-MYC-dependent expression of Sam68 is under the tight control of external cues, such as androgens and/or mitogens. These findings uncover an unexpected coordination of transcription and splicing of Sam68 by c-MYC, which may represent a key step in PCa tumorigenesis.
