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

backgroundActivating transcription factor 2 (ATF2) regulates the expression of downstream target genes and is phosphorylated by the Ras-extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway. Acetylation of ATF2 is necessary for this type of regulation. However, the molecular mechanism by which the Ras-ERK pathway mediates the regulation of acetylated ATF2 is unknown. This study investigates the mechanism of Ras-ERK pathway-mediated regulation of acetylated ATF2 in maintaining the characteristic phenotype of pancreatic cancer cells.

methodsThis study was carried out using ASPC-1 and BXPC-3 pancreatic cancer cell lines transfected with the double mutant Ras

resultsThe results showed that Ras

conclusionsActivation of the Ras-ERK pathway regulates acetylated ATF2 through degradation of p300 via a proteasome-dependent pathway, which alters the transcription of downstream target genes responsible for the cancer cell phenotype.
