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

Cardiac differentiation involves a cascade of coordinated gene expression that regulates cell proliferation and matrix protein formation in a defined temporal-spatial manner. Zinc finger-containing transcription factors have been implicated as critical regulators of multiple cardiac-expressed genes, and are thought to be important for human heart development and diseases. Here, we have identified and characterized a novel zinc finger gene named ZNF418 from a human embryo heart cDNA library. The gene spans 13.5 kb on chromosome 19q13.43 encompassing six exons, and transcribes a 3.7-kb mRNA that encodes a protein with 676 amino acid residues. The predicted protein contains a KRAB-A box and 17 tandem C2H2 type zinc finger motifs. Northern blot analysis indicates that ZNF418 is expressed in multiple fetal and adult tissues, but is expressed at higher levels in the heart. Reporter gene assays show that ZNF418 is a transcriptional repressor, and the KRAB motif of ZNF418 represents the basal repressive domain. Overexpression of ZNF418 in COS-7 cells inhibits the transcriptional activity of SRE and AP-1 which may be silenced by siRNA. These results suggest that ZNF418 is a member of the zincfinger transcription factor family and may act as a negative regulator in MAPK signaling pathway.
