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 nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) transcription factors, activated by calcium-calcineurin signaling, regulate various cellular processes, including cell differentiation, angiogenesis, and immune cell activation. Nonetheless, their roles in tumor cells remain largely undefined. The dimerization partner, RB-like, E2F, and multi-vulval class B (DREAM) complex orchestrates cell quiescence and proliferation. Pharmacological mimicry of DREAM-activated transcriptional signatures identified two calcium signaling inhibitors that suppressed lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cell proliferation. Among the five NFAT members, NFATc3/NFAT4 was predominantly expressed in LUAD cells and required for both LUAD cell proliferation and DREAM target gene transactivation. NFATc3 was enriched at DREAM target promoters and associated with the DREAM complex, possibly via LIN9, a scaffolding protein of the Multi-Vulva class B (MuvB) core proteins. These findings reveal an unexpected role for NFATc3 in promoting DREAM target gene transactivation and suggest the calcium-NFATc3 axis as a molecular target in LUAD, enriched by DREAM complex activation.
