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 POU domain transcription factor, Oct-2, is essential for the B cell-specific expression of CD36 in mouse B cells. In order to determine how Oct-2 mediates expression of CD36 in B cells, we cloned and analysed the mouse CD36 promoter. In contrast to the human CD36 promoter, the mouse promoter contains a consensus octamer element of the type ATGCTAAT. This octamer element can be bound by either Oct-1 or Oct-2 but requires the expression of Oct-2 to activate transcription in B cells. Mutation of the octamer element renders the CD36 promoter refractory to activation by Oct-2. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the CD36 octamer element does not support recruitment of the B cell-specific co-activator OBF-1 and that CD36 expression is unaffected in primary B cells derived from obf-1(-/-) mice. We conclude that Oct-2 activates CD36 gene expression in mouse B cells via the octamer element in the promoter. Our data also demonstrate that CD36 is the first example of an Oct-2-dependent gene whose expression in B cells is independent of OBF-1. These findings support the notion that Oct-2 regulates gene transcription by both OBF-1-dependent and -independent mechanisms.
