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 used whole PCR in an attempt to isolate novel retinoic acid (RA) responsive genes. We cloned several small genomic fragments from total human DNA containing putative retinoic acid responsive elements (RAREs) selected by direct binding to the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RAR alpha). We report here that an oligonucleotide containing a sequence from one of the cloned human DNA fragments, and referred to as alpha 1, functions as an authentic RARE. It is shown that both RAR alpha and RAR beta produced in Cos cells as well as in vitro translated RAR alpha bind directly and sequence-specifically to the alpha 1RARE. By mutational analysis it is demonstrated that the alpha 1RARE consists of an imperfect direct repeat of the estrogen- and thyroid hormone-related AGGTCA half-site motif separated by a 5 bp spacer. The orientation and spacing of the half-site repeats are shown to play a critical role in RAR recognition. When cloned upstream of a TK-Luc reporter, the alpha 1RARE is shown to confer responsiveness to RA in an orientation-independent fashion in F9 and CV-1 cells. The magnitude of the RA response mediated by the alpha 1RARE differed in these cell lines.
