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

Pax6 is essential for development of the eye, olfactory system, brain and pancreas. Haploinsufficiency of Pax6 causes abnormal eye development. Two forms of Pax6 protein, PAX6 and PAX6(5a), differ in a 14 amino acid insertion encoded by an alternatively spliced exon 5a in the N-terminal DNA-binding paired domain (PD), and they are simultaneously expressed. Here, we show that PAX6 and PAX6(5a) together synergistically activate transcription from promoters recognized by Pax6 PD and PD5a, but not by their homeodomain. This synergism promotes activation of transcription by c-Maf and MafA on the alphaB-crystallin promoter, and is required for transcriptional co-activation by RARbeta/RXRbeta and PAX6/PAX6(5a) on the gammaF-crystallin promoter. To determine the role of this synergism in haploinsufficiency, we tested four human missense (G18W, R26G, G64V and R128C) and one nonsense (R317X) mutants, with reporters driven by Pax6 PD consensus binding sites and the alphaB-crystallin promoter. The simultaneous activity of Pax6 proteins [PAX6, mutated PAX6, PAX6(5a) and mutated PAX6(5a)] modeling haploinsufficiency yielded results not predicted by properties of individual PAX6 or PAX6(5a). Taken together, these results indicate that complex ocular phenotypes due to Pax6 haploinsufficiency originate, at least partially, from functional interactions between alternatively spliced PAX6 and PAX6(5a) variants and other factors, e.g. MafA/c-Maf.
