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

Expression of the Dlx3 homeodomain gene is induced in terminally differentiated epidermal cells. Dlx3 regulates gene expression in skin and plays important roles in patterning of the embryonic ectoderm through differential sensitivity to bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling. We analyzed the expression of BMP family members in murine keratinocytes; BMP-2 is expressed in proliferative basal and differentiated suprabasal keratinocytes. BMP-2 induced transcription of Dlx3 within 12 h of treatment of keratinocytes cultured in vitro. We proceeded to delineate the BMP-2-responsive region to an area between -1917 and -1747 in the Dlx3 promoter. Gel shift assays with recombinant Smad1 and Smad4 demonstrated that this DNA fragment (-1917 to -1747) was competent in the formation of protein-DNA complexes. By deletion and mutational analyses we localized a Smad1/Smad4-binding site containing a GCAT motif, which showed similarity to other TGF-beta family responsive elements. Supershift assays with keratinocyte nuclear extracts and antibodies against members of the Smad family showed that this motif was able to form a complex with Smad1. Mutation of the Smad1/Smad4-binding site inhibited transcriptional activation of the Dlx3 gene by BMP-2. In the hair follicle, where Dlx3 is expressed in the hair matrix cells, BMP-2 also activates Dlx3 transcription. These results provide a possible mechanism of action for the BMP signaling pathway on the regulation of Dlx3.
