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

Lung development is associated with a surge in surfactant phosphatidylcholine (PC) production to prepare the newborn for extrauterine breathing. This process is associated with a marked increase in the activity of the rate-regulatory surfactant enzyme, CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCTalpha). To investigate the molecular basis for developmental activation of CCTalpha, we analyzed expression of endogenous CCTalpha and a reporter gene, beta-galactosidase, in fetal, newborn, and adult promoter-reporter transgenic mice. Transgenics harboring approximately 2 kb of the CCTalpha promoter linked upstream of a beta-galactosidase reporter gene displayed relatively high expression in distal lung epithelia. Endogenous lung CCTalpha and beta-galactosidase activities, protein content, and transcript levels displayed maximal expression within the newborn period. CCTalpha and beta-galactosidase activities and enzyme levels increased with time in cultured fetal lung explants isolated from transgenics. Transfectional analysis using CCTalpha promoter-reporter constructs in developing rat type II cells revealed that a region encompassing -169/+71 contained the DNA elements required for perinatal activation. The studies demonstrate that developmental induction of surfactant phospholipid is due, at least in part, to transcriptional activation of the CCTalpha gene.
