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

Serum response factor (SRF) is a key transcriptional activator of the c-fos gene and of muscle-specific gene expression. We have identified four forms of the SRF coding sequence, SRF-L (the previously identified form), SRF-M, SRF-S and SRF-I, that are produced by alternative splicing. The new forms of SRF lack regions of the C-terminal transactivation domain by splicing out of exon 5 (SRF-M), exons 4 and 5 (SRF-S) and exons 3, 4 and 5 (SRF-I). SRF-M is expressed at similar levels to SRF-L in differentiated vascular smooth-muscle cells and skeletal-muscle cells, whereas SRF-L is the predominant form in many other tissues. SRF-S expression is restricted to vascular smooth muscle and SRF-I expression is restricted to the embryo. Transfection of SRF-L and SRF-M into C(2)C(12) cells showed that both forms are transactivators of the promoter of the smooth-muscle-specific gene SM22alpha, whereas SRF-I acted as a dominant negative form of SRF.
