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

Numerous megakaryocyte-specific genes contain signature Ets-binding sites in their regulatory regions. Fli-1 (friend leukemia integration 1), an Ets transcription factor, is required for the normal maturation of megakaryocytes and controls the expression of multiple megakaryocyte-specific genes. However, in Fli-1-/- mice, early megakaryopoiesis persists, and the expression of the early megakaryocyte-specific genes, alphaIIb and cMpl, is maintained, consistent with functional compensation by a related Ets factor(s). Here we identify the Ets protein GABPalpha (GA-binding protein alpha) as a regulator of early megakaryocyte-specific genes. Notably, GABPalpha preferentially occupies Ets elements of early megakaryocyte-specific genes in vitro and in vivo, whereas Fli-1 binds both early and late megakaryocyte-specific genes. Moreover, the ratio of GABPalpha/Fli-1 expression declines throughout megakaryocyte maturation. Consistent with this expression pattern, primary fetal liver-derived megakaryocytes from Fli-1-deficient murine embryos exhibit reduced expression of genes associated with late stages of maturation (glycoprotein [GP] Ibalpha, GPIX, and platelet factor 4 [PF4]), whereas GABPalpha-deficient megakaryocytes were mostly impaired in the expression of early megakaryocyte-specific genes (alphaIIb and cMpl). Finally, mechanistic experiments revealed that GABPalpha, like Fli-1, can impart transcriptional synergy between the hematopoietic transcription factor GATA-1 and its cofactor FOG-1 (friend of GATA-1). In concert, these data reveal disparate, but overlapping, functions of Ets transcription factors at distinct stages of megakaryocyte maturation.
