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

Transcriptional repressors often employ multiple activities, but the molecular mechanisms and physiological relevance of this functional diversity remain obscure. The Drosophila melanogaster Knirps repressor uses CtBP corepressor-dependent and -independent pathways. To separately analyze the components of Knirps repression activity, we elucidated the specific repression properties of CtBP and of Knirps subdomains. Like Knirps, CtBP represses adjacent transcriptional activators; but unlike Knirps, CtBP is unable to repress basal promoter elements. We determined that the ability of CtBP to recapitulate only a subset of Knirps activities is due to a quantitative, rather than qualitative, deficiency in repression activity. The CtBP-dependent portion of Knirps synergizes with the CtBP-independent repression activity to potently repress promoter elements from enhancer- or promoter-proximal positions. This result indicates that multiple repression activities are combined to exceed critical thresholds on target genes. CtBP mutant proteins unable to bind NAD fail to interact with DNA-bound factors. We show that DNA-binding Gal4-CtBP fusion proteins also require NAD binding for activity, indicating that NAD plays a role in repression at a step subsequent to CtBP recruitment to the promoter.
