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 Wilms' tumour suppressor protein WT1 contains a transcriptional regulatory domain that can either activate or repress transcription depending upon its cellular environment. The mechanistic basis for this dichotomy is unclear however. Here, we dissect the transcriptional regulatory domains of WT1. We find that a region within the domain of WT1 attributed to transcriptional repression is a potent suppressor of the activation domain at several promoters and in different cell types. In vitro transcription analysis suggests that the mechanism of suppression of the activation domain occurs at the level of transcription initiation. Furthermore we find that the WT1 suppression domain is able to inhibit a heterologous activation domain when fused in cis. Dissection of this domain resulted in the delineation of a 30 amino acid region that was sufficient to confer suppression of a transcriptional activation domain both in vivo and in vitro. Additionally, we find that the WT1 transcriptional activation domain interacts with the general transcription factor TFIIB and that this interaction is not affected by the suppression domain. Taken together, these studies suggest that the suppression domain of WT1 interacts with a cosuppressor protein to mediate inhibition of the WT1 transcriptional activation domain.
