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

A reporter transcript containing the green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene upstream of the destabilizing 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of the murine IL-3 gene was inserted in mouse PB-3c-15 mast cells. The GFP-IL-3 transcript was inherently unstable due to the presence of an adenosine-uridine (AU)-rich element (ARE) in the 3'-UTR and was subject to rapid decay giving a low baseline of GFP fluorescence. Transcript stabilization with ionomycin resulted in an increase of fluorescence that is quantitated by FACS analysis of responding cells. Using this system we have identified okadaic acid as a novel stabilizing compound, and investigated the upstream signaling pathways leading to stabilization. This reporter system has the advantage of speed and simplicity over standard methods currently in use and in addition to serving as a research tool it can be easily automated to increase throughput for drug discovery.
