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

GATA transcription factors have been shown to play important roles in hematopoiesis. GATA-2 is expressed in stem and progenitor cells, and has been speculated to control the proliferation and maintain the immaturity of these cells. To examine whether the function of GATA-2 is changeable according to the differentiation stage, we established GATA-2 overexpressing subclones of K562, which is a leukemic cell line committed to the erythroid lineage. Via an increase in the GATA-2 expression level, the expression levels of erythroid-specific genes including alpha-, beta-, and gamma-globin were increased compared to control cells, while the expression level of GATA-1 was unchanged. Expression of the transferrin receptor was also increased in GATA-2 overexpressing K562 cells when examined by flow cytometry. In addition, the heme content of GATA-2 overexpressing K562 cells was more than 2 times higher than control cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis showed that GATA-2 protein binding to the GATA element in alpha-globin LCR was increased in GATA-2 overexpressing K562 cells. These findings suggest that GATA-2 could induce erythroid-specific genes without competition with GATA-1 when expressed in erythroid-committed cells, and thus further suggest that temporal and spatial regulation may be important for displaying specific functions of GATA-2.
