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

Keratin genes afford, given their large number (>50) and differential regulation, a unique opportunity to study the mechanisms underlying specification and differentiation in epithelia of higher metazoans. Moreover, the small size and regulation in cis of many keratin genes enable the use of their regulatory sequence to achieve targeted gene expression in mice. Here we show that 2 kilobases of 5' upstream region from the mouse keratin 17 gene (mK17) confers expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP) in major epithelial appendages of transgenic mice. Like that of mK17, onset of [mK17 5']-GFP reporter expression coincides with the appearance of ectoderm-derived epithelial appendages during embryonic development. In adult mice, [mK17 5']-GFP is appropriately regulated within hair, nail, glands, and oral papilla. Tracking of GFP fluorescence allows for the visualization of growth cycle-related changes in hair follicles, and the defects engendered by the hairless mutation, in live skin tissue. Deletion of an internal 48-bp interval, which encompasses a Gli-responsive element, from this promoter results in loss of GFP fluorescence in most appendages in vivo, suggesting that sonic hedgehog participates in K17 regulation. The compact mK17 gene promoter provides a novel tool for appendage-preferred gene expression and manipulation in transgenic mice.
