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 MyoD family of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors has the remarkable ability to induce myogenesis in vitro and in vivo. This myogenic specificity has been mapped to two amino acids in the basic domain, an alanine and threonine, referred to as the myogenic code. These essential determinants of myogenic specificity are conserved in all MyoD family members from worms to humans, yet their function in myogenesis is unclear. Induction of the muscle transcriptional program requires that MyoD be able to locate and stably bind to sequences present in the promoter regions of critical muscle genes. Recent studies have shown that MyoD binds to noncanonical E boxes in the myogenin gene, a critical locus required for myogenesis, through interactions with resident heterodimers of the HOX-TALE transcription factors Pbx1A and Meis1. In the present study, we show that the myogenic code is required for MyoD to bind to noncanonical E boxes in the myogenin promoter and for the formation of a tetrameric complex with Pbx/Meis. We also show that these essential determinants of myogenesis are sufficient to confer noncanonical E box binding to the E12 basic domain. Thus, these data show that noncanonical E box binding correlates with myogenic potential, and we speculate that the myogenic code residues in MyoD function as myogenic determinants via their role in noncanonical E box binding and recognition.
