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

HMGN1 is a nuclear protein that binds to nucleosomes and alters the accessibility of regulatory factors to their chromatin targets. To elucidate its biological function and identify specific HMGN1 target genes, we generated Hmgn1-/- mice. DNA microarray analysis of Hmgn1+/+ and Hmgn1-/- embryonic fibroblasts identified N-cadherin as a potential HMGN1 gene target. RT-PCR and western blot analysis confirmed a linkage between HMGN1 expression and N-cadherin levels. In both transformed and primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), HMGN1 acted as negative regulator of N-cadherin expression. Likewise, the N-cadherin levels in early embryos of Hmgn1-/- mice were higher than those of their Hmgn1+/+ littermates. Loss of HMGN1 increased the adhesiveness, motility and aggregation potential of Hmgn1-/- MEFs, a phenotype consistent with increased levels of N-cadherin protein. Re-expression of wild-type HMGN1, but not of the mutant HMGN1 protein that does not bind to chromatin, in Hmgn1-/- MEFs, decreased the levels of N-cadherin and restored the Hmgn1+/+ phenotype. These studies demonstrate a role for HMGN1 in the regulation of specific gene expression. We suggest that in MEFs, and during early mouse development, the interaction of HMGN1 with chromatin down-regulates the expression of N-cadherin.
