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

Glucocorticoid hormones induce apoptosis in lymphoid cells. This process is transcriptionally regulated and requires de novo RNA/protein synthesis. However, the full spectrum of glucocorticoid-regulated genes mediating this cell death process is unknown. Through gene expression profiling we discovered that the expression of thioredoxin-intereacting protein (txnip) mRNA is significantly induced by the glucocorticoid hormone dexamethasone not only in the murine T-cell lymphoma line WEHI7.2, but also in normal mouse thymocytes. This result was confirmed by Northern blot analysis in multiple models of dexamethasone-induced apoptosis. The induction of txnip mRNA by dexamethasone appears to be mediated through the glucocorticoid receptor as it is blocked in the presence of RU486, a glucocorticoid receptor antagonist. Deletion and mutation analysis of the txnip promoter identified a functional glucocorticoid response element in the txnip promoter. Reporter assays demonstrated that this glucocorticoid response element was necessary and sufficient for induction of txnip by dexamethasone. Expression of a GFP-TXNIP fusion protein was sufficient to induce apoptosis in WEHI7.2 cells, and repression of endogenous txnip by RNA interference inhibited dexamethasone-induced apoptosis in WEHI7.2 cells. Together, these findings indicate that txnip is a novel glucocorticoid-induced primary target gene involved in mediating glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis.
