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

Interferon A (IFN-A) genes are differentially expressed after virus induction. The differential expression of individual IFN-A genes is modulated by the specific transcription activators IFN regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) and IRF-7 and the homeoprotein transcription repressor Pitx1. We now show that repression by Pitx1 does not appear to be due to the recruitment of histone deacetylases. On the other hand, Pitx1 inhibits the IRF3 and IRF7 transcriptional activity of the IFN-A11 and IFN-A5 promoters and interacts physically with IRF3 and IRF7. Pitx1 trans-repression activity maps to specific C-terminal domains, and the Pitx1 homeodomain is involved in physical interaction with IRF3 or IRF7. IRF3 is able to bind to the antisilencer region of the IFN-A4 promoter, which overrides the repressive activity of Pitx1. These results indicate that interaction between the Pitx1 homeodomain and IRF3 or IRF7 and the ability of the Pitx1 C-terminal repressor domains to block IFN-A11 and IFN-A5 but not IFN-A4 promoter activities may contribute to our understanding of the complex differential transcriptional activation, repression, and antirepression of the IFN-A genes.
