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

In addition to their conventional G-C/T target sequences, Sp1 family transcription factors (Sp-factors) can interact with a subset of the target sequences for NFkappaB. Due to the low level of bona fide NFkappaB activity in most resting cells, this interaction between Sp-factors and kappaB-sites could play important roles in cell function. Here we used mutagenesis of a canonical kappaB element from the immunoglobulin and HIV promoters to identify the GC-rich sequences at each end required for Sp-factor targeting. Through screening of multiple kappaB elements, a sequence element located in the second intron of superoxide dismutase-2 (SOD2) was identified as a good candidate for both NFkappaB and Sp-factor binding. In neurons, the prominent proteins interacting with this site were Sp3 and Sp4, whereas Sp1, Sp3, and NFkappaB were associated with this site in astroglia. The neuronal Sp-factors repressed transcriptional activity through this kappaB-site. In contrast, astroglial Sp-factors activated promoter activity through the same element. NFkappaB contributed to control of the SOD2 kappaB element only in astrocytes. These findings imply that cell-type specificity of transcription in the central nervous system, particularly with regard to kappaB elements, may include two unique aspects of neurons: 1) a recalcitrant NFkappaB and 2) the substitution of Sp4 for Sp1.
