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 Groucho (Gro)/transducin-like enhancer of split family of transcriptional corepressors are implicated in many signalling pathways that are important in development and disease, including those mediated by Notch, Wnt and Hedgehog. Here, we describe a genetic screen in Drosophila that yielded 50 new gro alleles, including the first protein-null allele, and has two mutations in the conserved Q oligomerization domain that have been proposed to have an essential role in corepressor activity. One of these latter mutations, encoding an amino-terminal protein truncation that lacks part of the Q domain, abolishes oligomerization in vitro and renders the protein unstable in vivo. Nevertheless, the mutation is not a null: maternal mutant embryos have intermediate segmentation phenotypes and relatively normal terminal patterning suggesting that the mutant protein retains partial corepressor activity. Our results show that homo-oligomerization of Gro is not obligatory for its action in vivo, and that Gro represses transcription through more than one molecular mechanism.
