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

Aberrant activation of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) associated factors were highly correlated with increased mortality in cancer patients. SNAIL family of transcriptional repressors comprised of three members, each of which were essentially associated with gastrulation and neural crest formation. Among which, SNAI1 and SNAI2 were efficiently induced during EMT and their expressions were correlated with poor clinical outcome in patients with breast, colon and ovarian carcinoma. In an ovarian cancer cell lines panel, we identified that SNAI1 and SNAI2 expressions were mutually exclusive, where SNAI1 predominantly represses SNAI2 expression. Detailed analysis of SNAI2 promoter region revealed that SNAI1 binds to two E-box sequences that mediated transcriptional repression. Through epigenetic inhibitor treatments, we identified that inhibition of histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity in SNAI1 overexpressing cells partially rescued SNAI2 expression. Importantly, we demonstrated a significant deacetylation of histone H3 and significant enrichments of HDAC1 and HDAC2 corepressors in both E-box regions of SNAI2 promoter. Our results suggested that SNAI1 repression on SNAI2 expression was predominantly mediated through the recruitment of the histone deacetylation machinery. Utilization of HDAC inhibitors would require additional profiling of SNAI1 activity and combined targeting of SNAI1 and HDACs might render efficient cancer treatment.
