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 transcriptional regulator nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic 3 (NFATc3) is constitutively activated in several cancer types and plays important roles in cancer development and progression. Heavily phosphorylated NFATc3 resides in the cytoplasm of resting cells, and dephosphorylated NFATc3 translocates to the nucleus to activate expression of target genes in cells exposed to stimuli, for instance, hypoxia. Apart from phosphorylation, various post-translational modifications have been reported to regulate NFAT transcriptional activity. However, the mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we have demonstrated that NFATc3 is activated in human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells and that excessive activation of NFATc3 is correlated to advanced stages of PDAC and short survival time of PDAC patients. NFATc3 is deSUMOylated at K384 by SENP3 under hypoxia, which impairs the interaction between NFATc3 and phosphokinase GSK-3β, subsequently decreases NFATc3 phosphorylation and increases its nuclear occupancy. Knockdown of SENP3 greatly decreased hypoxia-induced NFATc3 nuclear occupancy. Our results highlight that SENP3-mediated deSUMOylation acts as an essential modulator of NFATc3, which is instrumental in PDAC tumor progression under hypoxia.
