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

The Hippo-TEAD pathway regulates cellular proliferation and function. The existing paradigm is that TEAD co-activators, YAP and TAZ, and co-repressor, VGLL4, bind to the pocket region of TEAD1 to enable transcriptional activation or repressive function. Here we demonstrate a pocket-independent transcription repression mechanism whereby TEAD1 controls cell proliferation in both non-malignant mature differentiated cells and in malignant cell models. TEAD1 overexpression can repress tumor cell proliferation in distinct cancer cell lines. In pancreatic β cells, conditional knockout of TEAD1 led to a cell-autonomous increase in proliferation. Genome-wide analysis of TEAD1 functional targets via transcriptomic profiling and cistromic analysis revealed distinct modes of target genes, with one class of targets directly repressed by TEAD1. We further demonstrate that TEAD1 controls target gene transcription in a motif-dependent and orientation-independent manner. Mechanistically, we show that TEAD1 has a pocket region-independent, direct repressive function via interfering with RNA polymerase II (POLII) binding to target promoters. Our study reveals that TEAD1 target genes constitute a mutually restricted regulatory loop to control cell proliferation and uncovers a novel direct repression mechanism involved in its transcriptional control that could be leveraged in future studies to modulate cell proliferation in tumors and potentially enhance the proliferation of normal mature cells.
