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

The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor Math1 and its orthologs are fundamental for proper development of various neuronal subpopulations, such as cerebellar granule cells, D1 interneurons in the spinal cord, and inner ear hair cells. Although crucial for neurogenesis, the mechanisms by which Math1 specifically recognizes its direct targets are not fully understood. To search for direct and indirect target genes and signaling pathways controlled by Math1, we analyzed the effect of Math1 knockout on the expression profile of multiple genes in the embryonic cerebellum. Eighteen differentially expressed transcripts were identified and found to belong to a few developmentally-related functional groups, such as transcriptional regulation, proliferation, organogenesis, signal transduction, and apoptosis. Importantly, genomic analysis of E-box motifs has identified a significant enrichment and clustering of MATH1-binding E-boxes only in a subset of differentially expressed genes (Nr2f6, Hras1, and Hes5) in both mouse and man. Moreover, Math1 was shown by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) to bind, and by a luciferase reporter assay to activate transcription, of an upstream genomic fragment of Nr2f6. Taken together, we propose that when putative direct targets of Math1 are being selected for detailed studies on DNA microarray hybridization, the enrichment and clustering of binding E-boxes in multiple species may be helpful criteria. Our findings may be useful to the study of other bHLH transcription factors, many of which control the development of the nervous system.
