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

Appropriate expression of GnRH receptor (GnRHR) is necessary for the correct regulation of the gonadotropins, LH and FSH, by GnRH. GnRHR is primarily expressed in the gonadotrope cells of the anterior pituitary, and a number of regulatory elements important for both basal and hormonal regulation of the gene have been identified. Using the gonadotrope-derived cell line, alpha T3-1, that endogenously expresses GnRHR, we have identified an ATTA element located at -298 relative to the transcriptional start site that is essential for basal expression of the GnRHR gene. LHX3, a member of the LIM homeodomain family, binds the -298 ATTA site in vitro as well as to the endogenous GnRHR promoter in vivo. Additionally, LHX3 specifically activates through this -298 ATTA site in transient transfection assays. LHX3 is essential for pituitary development and has been implicated in the regulation of a number of pituitary specific genes; however, this is the first report identifying its role in the regulation of GnRHR.
