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

Angiogenesis is a physiological process for the formation of new blood vessels from the pre-existing vessels and it has a vital role in the survival and growth of neoplasms. During tumor angiogenesis, the activation of the gene transcriptions in vascular endothelial cells (ECs) plays an essential role in the promotion of EC proliferation, migration, and vascular network development. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying transcriptional regulation of EC and tumor angiogenesis remains to be fully elucidated. Here we report that the transcription factor Yin Yang 1 (YY1) in ECs is critically involved in tumor angiogenesis. First, we utilized a tamoxifen-inducible EC-specific YY1 deficient mouse model and showed that YY1 deletion in ECs inhibited the tumor growth and tumor angiogenesis. Using the in vivo matrigel plug assay, we then found that EC-specific YY1 ablation inhibited growth factor-induced angiogenesis. Furthermore, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced EC migration was diminished in YY1-depleted human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Finally, a rescue experiment revealed that YY1-regulated BMP6 expression in ECs was involved in EC migration. Collectively, our results demonstrate that endothelial YY1 has a crucial role in tumor angiogenesis and suggest that targeting endothelial YY1 could be a potential therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment.
