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

BACKGROUND &

aimsThe c-Myc (Myc) Basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper (bHLH-ZIP) transcription factor is deregulated in most cancers. In association with Max, Myc controls target genes that supervise metabolism, ribosome biogenesis, translation, and proliferation. This Myc network crosstalks with the Mlx network, which consists of the Myc-like proteins MondoA and ChREBP, and Max-like Mlx. Together, this extended Myc network regulates both common and distinct gene targets. Here, we studied the consequence of Myc and/or Mlx ablation in the liver, particularly those pertaining to hepatocyte proliferation, metabolism, and spontaneous tumorigenesis.

methodsWe examined the ability of hepatocytes lacking Mlx (MlxKO) or Myc+Mlx (double KO [DKO]) to repopulate the liver over an extended period of time in a murine model of type I tyrosinemia. We also compared this and other relevant behaviors, phenotypes, and transcriptomes of the livers with those from previously characterized MycKO, ChrebpKO, and MycKO × ChrebpKO mice.

resultsHepatocyte regenerative potential deteriorated as the Extended Myc Network was progressively dismantled. Genes and pathways dysregulated in MlxKO and DKO hepatocytes included those pertaining to translation, mitochondrial function, and hepatic steatosis resembling nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. The Myc and Mlx Networks were shown to crosstalk, with the latter playing a disproportionate role in target gene regulation. All cohorts also developed steatosis and molecular evidence of early steatohepatitis. Finally, MlxKO and DKO mice showed extensive hepatic adenomatosis.

conclusionsIn addition to showing cooperation between the Myc and Mlx Networks, this study showed the latter to be more important in maintaining proliferative, metabolic, and translational homeostasis, while concurrently serving as a suppressor of benign tumorigenesis.
