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

purposeTo determine the correlation among progesterone dose, rate of import of progesterone-occupied progesterone receptor (PR) complexes into the nucleus of cells, and transcriptional activity of progesterone-PR complexes.

methodsLive cell imaging and time-lapse microscopy of green fluorescent protein-tagged PR were performed to measure the rate of import into the nucleus of progesterone-PR complexes. To measure transcriptional activity, a progesterone-PR-sensitive luciferase reporter gene assay was used.

resultsFor low doses of progesterone, there was a correlation among dose, import into the nucleus, and transcriptional activity. At higher doses of progesterone (beyond 12.5 nM), transcriptional activity increased, but there was no further increase in the rate of import, indicating a saturation of the import machinery. In both cases, a simple one-compartment model was sufficient to describe the import data.

conclusionsAt low doses, progesterone dose correlates well with rate of import and transcriptional activity. At high doses, more progesterone can get into the nucleus and can activate unoccupied receptors already in the nucleus, leading to higher transactivation than would be expected from rates of import of progesterone-PR complexes into the nucleus.
