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 transcription factor activator protein 1 (AP-1) is formed through the dimerization of immediate-early genes Fos and Jun family members. Activator protein 1 is known as a pivotal regulator of major biological events such as cell proliferation, differentiation, organogenesis, memory formation, and apoptosis. During a search for microRNAs (miRNAs; small, endogenous, noncoding RNAs that repress gene expression of target mRNAs in animals posttranscriptionally) that are differentially expressed in the mouse paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei after 10 days of drinking 2% saline, one candidate microRNA that is relatively highly expressed, mmu-miR-7b (miR-7b), was studied further because sequence analysis suggested a likely interaction with the 3' untranslated region of Fos mRNA. We show that miR-7b expression inhibits Fos translation in vitro and that it and its host gene are prominently expressed in the PVN and other brain areas, including the suprachiasmatic nucleus. No effect on Fos mRNA levels was observed. Normally, Fos is expressed at low to undetectable levels in cells, but it shows rapid induction and decay after acute stimuli. Various pathways have been identified through which Fos family proteins are degraded; our results indicate a significant additional mechanism by which Fos protein and activity may be regulated.
