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 have previously isolated Xretpos, a novel family of long terminal repeat (LTR)-retrotransposons in Xenopus laevis, whose transcript is restricted to ventro-posterior-specific regions and induced by bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) signaling. To explore the molecular mechanism of the transcriptional regulation, we identified and characterized Xretpos promoter regions consisting of LTRs and a 5'-untranslated region. We demonstrated that this promoter region contains all the necessary regulatory elements for the spatial and temporal expression of XRETPOS: Sequence analysis of the Xretpos promoter revealed multiple Smad-binding elements and Olf-1/EBF-associated zinc finger (OAZ) binding sites similar to BMP-4 response element, which were identified and proved to be required for BMP-4 induction in the Xvent2 promoter. We further demonstrated that Smads and OAZ proteins bind to their response elements in the promoter and these bindings are essential for the BMP-4-induced activation of the Xretpos promoter. Furthermore, we showed that the endogenous expression of Xretpos protein indeed occurred and was temporally regulated and BMP-4-inducible during the early Xenopus development. Finally, overexpression and partial loss-of-function study revealed that Xretpos has a posterio-ventralizing activity. Together, our results place Xretpos downstream of BMP-4 and provide evidence for the conserved mechanism of transcriptional regulation of the BMP-4 target genes.
