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

bir-1, a Caenorhabditis elegans inhibitor-of-apoptosis gene homologous to Survivin is organized in an operon with the transcription cofactor C. elegans SKIP (skp-1). Because genes arranged in operons are frequently linked functionally, we have asked whether BIR-1 also functions in transcription. bir-1 inhibition resulted in multiple developmental defects that overlapped with C. elegans SKIP loss-of-function phenotypes: retention of eggs, dumpy, movement defects, and lethality. bir-1 RNA-mediated interference decreased expression of several gfp transgenes and the endogenous genes dpy-7 and hlh-1. Immunoblot analysis revealed decreased phosphoacetylated histones in bir-1 RNA-mediated interference-treated worms. In a heterologous transfection system, BIR-1 augments thyroid hormone-regulated transcription and has an additive effect with SKIP. These results show that BIR-1 functions in the regulation of transcription and development.
