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

IFNgamma is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that potentiates p53-independent apoptosis in a variety of cell types. STAT1 is the primary mediator of IFNgamma action. ZBP-89 is a transcription factor that binds to the G/C-rich elements and mediates p53-independent apoptosis. In this study, site-directed mutagenesis revealed that a G-rich element from +171 to +179 within the first intron of the STAT1 gene is critical for optimal STAT1 promoter activity. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays and promoter analysis revealed that ZBP-89 binds directly to this STAT1 G-rich element along with Sp1 and Sp3. Reduction of ZBP-89 with siRNA attenuated both basal and IFNgamma-induced STAT1 expression and subsequently diminished the activation of apoptotic markers, e.g. caspase-3 and PARP. Taken together, we conclude that ZBP-89 is required for constitutive STAT1 expression and in this way contributes to the ability of cells to be activated by IFNgamma.
