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

To identify common regulatory features of nuclear genes encoding mitochondrial proteins we searched for regulatory elements in the Cytochrome c promoter during skeletal muscle differentiation in cell culture. A consensus element with the sequence GCTGCCGCAC-(N4-20)-GGSCGYGGG was found in both rat Cyt c and coxIV promoters. This new sequence element with yet undescribed function, but high abundance in promoters of nuclear genes encoding mitochondrial proteins available from the databases, showed a striking change in protein binding in electromobility shift assays when myoblasts were compared to myotubes. Proteins involved in the observed protein-DNA complexes were isolated from myotubes and identified by MALDI-TOF as BAT1, a DEAD-box protein of yet unknown function, heat shock protein HSP84, and alpha-actinin 4, a non-muscle isoform of the structural protein alpha-actinin. alpha-actinin 4 was found to be preferentially localized in the nucleus upon induction of myogenesis, suggesting a signaling function during muscle differentiation. In conclusion, the analyzed sequence motif may be a new candidate for common regulatory elements specific for nuclear encoded mitochondrial genes, and alpha-actinin 4 may be involved in their regulation.
