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 WD repeat domain 77 (WDR77) protein plays a critical role in prostate development and dysregulation of WDR77 expression is associated with prostate tumorigenesis. This study investigated the regulatory effects of GATA3 and E2F6 on WDR77 gene expression. A negative correlation between GATA3/E2F6 and WDR77 expression at both mRNA and protein levels was observed during prostate development and prostate tumorigenesis. Prostate cancer cells lost expression of GATA3 and E2F6 and re-expression of GATA3 and E2F6 resulted in a dose-dependent reduction in WDR77 expression and cell growth. Exogenous expression of WDR77 relieved the growth inhibition by GATA3. GATA3 and E2F6 directly interact with the promoter of the WDR77 gene in vitro and in vivo and repress WDR77 promoter activity. These results provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms governing WDR77 expression during prostate development and prostate tumorigenesis.
