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 high-mobility group I (HMGI) nonhistone chromosomal proteins HMGI(Y) and HMGI-C have been implicated in defining chromatin structure and in regulating the transcription of several genes. These proteins have been implicated in adipocyte homeostasis: a severe deficiency of fat tissue is found in mice with targeted disruption of the HMGI-C locus, and lipomagenesis in humans is frequently associated with somatic mutations of HMGI genes. The aim of this study was to examine the role of HMGI(Y) proteins in adipocytic cell growth and differentiation. First, we found that differentiation of the preadipocytic 3T3-L1 cell line caused early induction of HMGI(Y) gene expression. Suppression of HMGI(Y) expression by antisense technology dramatically increased the growth rate and impaired adipocytic differentiation in these cells. The process of adipogenic differentiation involves the interplay of several transcription factors, among which is the CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) family of proteins. These factors are required for the transcriptional activation of adipocyte-specific genes. We also tested the hypothesis that HMGI(Y) might participate in transcriptional control of adipocyte-specific promoters. We found that HMGI(Y) proteins bind C/EBPbeta in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, we show that HMGI(Y) strongly potentiates the capacity of C/EBPbeta to transactivate the leptin promoter, an adipose-specific promoter. Taken together, these results indicate that the HMGI(Y) proteins play a critical role in adipocytic cell growth and differentiation.
