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

c-Jun transcriptional activity is augmented by expression of oncogenic Ras and Raf proteins. This study demonstrates a direct correlation between Ras transforming activity and c-Jun activation, supporting an important role for c-Jun in transformation by Ras. Since we observed that Ras activated c-Jun transcriptional activity by increasing phosphorylation of the c-Jun activation domain at residues Ser-63/Ser-73 and that oncogenic Ras proteins activated extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases (ERK1 and ERK2) (also known as mitogen-activated protein kinases), we evaluated the possibility that ERKs were directly responsible for c-Jun activation. Coexpression of wild-type ERKs with oncogenic Ras proteins potentiated, while kinase-defective ERKs inhibited, Ras-induced transcriptional activation from the Ras-responsive element (Ets-1/AP-1) present in the NVL-3 enhancer and the serum-response element in the c-fos promoter. In contrast, coexpression of either wild-type or kinase-defective ERKs inhibited Ras and Raf activation of c-Jun transcriptional activity. Thus, although activation of both ERK and c-Jun are downstream consequences of activation of the Ras signal transduction pathway, our results suggest that Ras-induced c-Jun phosphorylation and transcriptional activation are not a direct consequence of ERK1 and ERK2 activation.
