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

B-cell translocation gene 3 (BTG3) is a member of the antiproliferative BTG gene family and is a downstream target of p53. Here, we show that senescence triggered by BTG3 depletion was accompanied by a secretome enriched with cytokines, growth factors, and matrix-remodeling enzymes, which could promote angiogenesis and cell scattering in vitro. We present evidence that at least part of these activities can be explained by elevated HIF-1α activity. Mechanistically, the BTG3 C-terminal domain competes with the coactivator p300 for binding the HIF-1α transactivation domain. The angiogenic promoting effect of BTG3 knockdown was largely diminished upon co-depletion of HIF-1α, indicating that HIF-1α is a major downstream target of BTG3 in the control of angiogenesis. In vivo, ectopic expression of BTG3 suppresses angiogenesis in xenograft tumors; and syngenic tumor growth and metastasis were enhanced in Btg3-null mice. Moreover, analysis of clinical datasets revealed that a higher BTG3/VEGFA expression ratio correlates with improved patient survival in a number of cancer types. Taken together, our findings highlight the non-autonomous regulation of tumor microenvironment by BTG3 while suppressing tumor progression.
