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

Transcriptional activity of nuclear receptors (NRs) is influenced by a large number of coregulators that exert their actions predominantly at the transcription initiation step. Unlike most well-characterized NR coregulators, cofactor of BRCA1 (COBRA1), a subunit of the negative elongation factor (NELF), binds to estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) and modulates estrogen-dependent transcription by impeding the movement of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) during the transcription elongation stage. Here we show that, in addition to ERalpha, COBRA1 also displays various degrees of affinity for several other NRs. In particular, COBRA1 binds strongly to androgen receptor (AR) via its ligand-binding domain (LBD). Small hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated reduction of endogenous COBRA1 enhances androgen-mediated transcription. The effect of COBRA1 knockdown can be rescued by a silent mutant COBRA1 that is refractory to the shRNA action. Using a reporter assay for alternative splicing, we also provide evidence for a role of COBRA1 in influencing the exon skipping/inclusion of nascent transcripts produced from an androgen-dependent promoter. These findings suggest that COBRA1 may coordinate multiple steps in ligand-dependent gene expression, which in turn ensures both the quantity and quality of hormone-stimulated gene products.
