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

Mutation of microphthalmia transcription factor (MITF) results in deafness, bone loss, small eyes, and poorly pigmented eyes and skin. A search for MITF-associated proteins, using a mast cell library that was screened with a construct that encodes the basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper (Zip) domain of MITF, resulted in the isolation of the STAT3 inhibitor, PIAS3. PIAS3 functions in vivo as a key molecule in suppressing the transcriptional activity of MITF. Here, we report that the Zip domain is the region of MITF that is involved in the direct interaction between MITF and PIAS3. Additionally, we investigated the effect of phosphorylation of MITF on its interaction with PIAS3. We found that phosphorylation of MITF on serines in positions 73 and 409 plays an important role in its association with PIAS3. This effect was profound with phosphorylation on Ser409, which significantly reduced the inhibitory effect of PIAS3 on MITF and also modulated the transcriptional activity of MITF. Thus, phosphorylation of MITF could be considered a fine, and alternative, tuning of its transcriptional machinery.
