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

Since the c-Jun coactivator alphaNAC was initially identified in a differential screen for genes expressed in differentiated osteoblasts, we examined whether the osteocalcin gene, a specific marker of terminal osteoblastic differentiation, could be a natural target for the coactivating function of alphaNAC. We had also previously shown that alphaNAC can specifically bind DNA in vitro, but it remained unclear whether the DNA-binding function of alphaNAC is expressed in vivo or if it is required for coactivation. We have identified an alphaNAC binding site within the murine osteocalcin gene proximal promoter region and demonstrated that recombinant alphaNAC or alphaNAC from ROS17/2.8 nuclear extracts can specifically bind this element. Using transient transfection assays, we have shown that alphaNAC specifically potentiated the c-Jun-dependent transcription of the osteocalcin promoter and that this activity specifically required the DNA-binding domain of alphaNAC. Chromatin immunoprecipitation confirmed that alphaNAC occupies its binding site on the osteocalcin promoter in living osteoblastic cells expressing osteocalcin. Inhibition of the expression of endogenous alphaNAC in osteoblastic cells by use of RNA interference provoked a decrease in osteocalcin gene transcription. Our results show that the osteocalcin gene is a target for the alphaNAC coactivating function, and we propose that alphaNAC is specifically targeted to the osteocalcin promoter through its DNA-binding activity as a means to achieve increased specificity in gene transcription.
