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

To study the role of the bHLH genes NSCL-1 and NSCL-2 in the development of GnRH-1 neurons, we have generated compound mutant mice. Mutant animals die at birth and show a virtually complete absence of GnRH-1 neurons in the posterior parts of the brain at E18.5 and an aberrant morphology of the remaining GnRH-1 neurons in the anterior parts of the brain indicating that NSCL-1 and NSCL-2 might concomitantly control differentiation/migration of GnRH-1 neurons in a cell autonomous manner. To gain further insights into this process, we screened for NSCL target genes using DNA array hybridization and detected necdin, which is deleted in the human Prader-Willi syndrome phenotypically resembling the NSCL-2 mutation. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation and site-directed mutagenesis of the necdin promoter, we demonstrate that NSCLs together with additional cofactors directly control transcription of the necdin gene. NSCL-dependent control of necdin expression might be instrumental for proper neuronal cell differentiation and enable GnRH-1 neurons to migrate.
