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

Altered TGF-beta1 expression due to polymorphisms affects a wide variety of normal cellular and disease processes such as T cell activation and proliferation, tumor progression, and asthma. In this study, a comprehensive examination of function and diversity was undertaken for the TGFB1 promoter region and exon 1 (-2,665 to +423). The known TGF-beta1 promoter was extended to encompass 463 bases by the identification of a strong enhancer activity for a distal segment (-2,665 to -2,204). Ten novel polymorphisms and 14 novel alleles were identified. Most single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) appear to be randomly associated except c.-768_-769insC and c.+74G > C and a set of five novel polymorphisms present in a single allele in persons of African descent. The TGFB1 alleles clustered into three phylogenetic groups based on the common functional SNPs c.-1347C > T (commonly known as -509C-T) and c.+29T > C (commonly known as +869T-C) suggesting three phenotypic groups. Two SNPs unique to African-Americans affect the TGFB1 regulatory region. The c.-1287G > A SNP in the promoter alters the binding affinity of two unidentified transcription factor complexes which translates into a significant difference in reporter gene expression and the c.-387C > T SNP in the 5' UTR alters the binding of Stimulating protein 1 and 3. Thus, TGFB1 possesses a highly polymorphic, extensive regulatory region that likely impacts the pathogenesis of numerous TGF-beta1 related diseases.
