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

Hox gene functions are intimately linked to correct developmental expression of the genes. The identification of cis-acting regulatory sequences and their associated trans-acting factors constitutes a key step in deciphering the mechanisms underlying the correct positioning of the functional domain of Hox genes along the anterior-posterior axis. We have identified DNA elements driving Hoxa5 regionalized expression in mice, using the 2.1-kb mesodermal enhancer (MES) localized in Hoxa5 3' flanking sequences as a starting point. The MES sequence comprises regulatory elements targeting Hoxa5 expression in the limbs, the urogenital and gastrointestinal tracts, and the cervical-upper thoracic region of the prevertebral column. A 164-bp DNA fragment within the MES caudally restricts Hoxa5 expression at the level of prevertebra 10, corresponding to the posterior limit of its functional domain. Cdx proteins directly bind to this element in vitro via two conserved sites. Preventing Cdx binding by mutating the sites causes caudal expansion of the transgene expression domain. Of all three murine Cdx proteins that bind this element in vitro, Cdx4 has emerged as a potential regional posterior repressor of Hoxa5 expression. The restrictive control provided by Cdx interactions with Hoxa5 regulatory sequences may be one of the critical events in cervicothoracic axial specification.
