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

-We previously reported that thyroid hormone stimulates renin synthesis in vivo and in vitro. Here, we analyzed the 5'-flanking sequence of the human renin gene for promoter activity responsive to thyroid hormone using Calu-6 cells, which secrete renin endogenously and express thyroid hormone receptor-ss. The luciferase reporter gene was cloned together with 5'-flanking portions of the human renin gene of various lengths into the pGL3-Basic vector. Luciferase activity assays were performed using the Dual Luciferase Reporter Assay System. 3,3',5-Triiodo-L-thyronine stimulated the promoter activity of pGL3-Basic-1111/+12 and pGL3-Basic-1298/+12 by 2.3+/-0.1- and 1.7+/-0.1-fold, respectively. Shorter constructs (pGL3-Basic-144/+12, pGL3-Basic-226/+12, pGL3-Basic-452/+12, and pGL3-Basic-953/+12) were not stimulated by thyroid hormone. These results suggest that there is a possible thyroid hormone response element (5'-AGG TCA GGT CAc aat GTT CCT-3') between nucleotides -1111 and -953. In 3 constructs with site-directed mutations in this sequence, basal promoter activities were significantly increased, whereas promoter activation by thyroid hormone was abolished. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays showed that the -1111/-953 DNA fragment of the intact human renin gene was bound to nuclear proteins of Calu-6 cells; however, none of the 3 mutant probes were bound to any nuclear proteins. These results suggest that thyroid hormone stimulates the promoter activity of the human renin gene through thyroid hormone response element-dependent mechanisms in Calu-6 cells.
