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

Characterization of the mechanism(s) of action of trans-acting factors in higher eukaryotes requires the establishment of cellular models that test their function at endogenous target gene regulatory elements. Erythroid Krüppel-like factor (EKLF) is essential for beta-globin gene transcription. To elucidate the in vivo determinants leading to transcription of the adult beta-globin gene, functional domains of EKLF were examined in the context of chromatin remodeling and transcriptional activation at the endogenous locus. Human EKLF (hEKLF) sequences, linked to an estrogen-responsive domain, were studied with an erythroblast cell line lacking endogenous EKLF expression (J2eDeltaeklf). J2eDeltaeklf cells transduced with hEKLF demonstrated a dose-dependent rescue of beta-globin transcription in the presence of inducing ligand. Further analysis using a series of amino-terminal truncation mutants of hEKLF identified a distinct internal domain, which is sufficient for transactivation. Interestingly, studies of the chromatin structure of the beta-promoter revealed that a smaller carboxy-terminal domain generated an open promoter configuration. In vitro and in vivo binding studies demonstrated that this region interacted with BRG1, a component of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex. However, further study revealed that BRG1 interacted with an even smaller domain of EKLF, suggesting that additional protein interactions are required for chromatin remodeling at the endogenous beta-promoter. Taken together, our findings support a stepwise process of chromatin remodeling and coactivator recruitment to the beta-globin promoter in vivo. The J2eDeltaeklf inducible hEKLF system will be a valuable tool for further characterizing the temporal series of events required for endogenous beta-globin gene transcription.
