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

Endometrial angiogenesis is necessary for good endometrial receptivity. Krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) is a transcription factor that is essential for regulating angiogenesis. Here we found that vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) can form a positive feedback loop with KLF4 to promote the proliferation and migration of human endometrial microvascular endothelial cells (HEMECs) and inhibit cell apoptosis. General control non-derepressible 5 (GCN5) is also time-dependent on VEGFA and participates in the KLF4-VEGFA loop. In addition, we found that GCN5 is a succinyltransferase that modulates the succinylation of histones and nonhistones. GCN5 interacts with KLF4 and is recruited to the KLF4-binding site of the VEGFA promoter to succinylate H3K79, which initiates gene transcription epigenetically. For nonhistones, GCN5 succinylates KLF4 that is activated by ERK signaling in HEMECs treated with VEGFA to increase its transcription activity. These results demonstrate KLF4-VEGFA positive feedback loop is regulated by epigenetics, which contributes to endometrial angiogenesis.
