Tristetraprolin Posttranscriptionally Downregulates TRAIL Death Receptors.
Article in Cells, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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 necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has attracted attention as a potential candidate for cancer therapy. However, many primary cancers are resistant to TRAIL, even when combined with standard chemotherapy. The mechanism of TRAIL resistance in cancer cells has not been fully elucidated. The TRAIL death receptor (DR) 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) is reported to contain AU-rich elements (AREs) that are important for regulating DR mRNA stability. However, the mechanisms by which DR mRNA stability is determined by its 3'-UTR are unknown. We demonstrate that tristetraprolin (TTP), an ARE-binding protein, has a critical function of regulating DR mRNA stability. DR4 mRNA contains three AREs and DR5 mRNA contains four AREs in 3'-UTR. TTP bound to all three AREs in DR4 and ARE3 in DR5 and enhanced decay of DR4/5 mRNA. TTP overexpression in colon cancer cells changed the TRAIL-sensitive cancer cells to TRAIL-resistant cells, and down-regulation of TTP increased TRAIL sensitivity via DR4/5 expression. Therefore, this study provides a molecular mechanism for enhanced levels of TRAIL DRs in cancer cells and a biological basis for posttranscriptional modification of TRAIL DRs. In addition, TTP status might be a biomarker for predicting TRAIL response when a TRAIL-based treatment is used for cancer.
