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

GnRH binds its G-coupled protein receptor, GnRHR, on pituitary gonadotropes and stimulates transcription of Cga, Lhb, and Fshb. These three genes encode two heterodimeric glycoprotein hormones, LH and FSH, that act as gonadotropins by regulating gametogenesis and steroidogenesis in both the testes and ovary. GnRH also regulates transcription of Gnrhr. Thus, regulated expression of Cga, Lhb, Fshb, and Gnrhr provides a genomic signature unique to functional gonadotropes. Steadily increasing evidence now indicates that GnRH regulates transcription of its four signature genes indirectly through a hierarchical transcriptional network that includes distinct subclasses of DNA-binding proteins that comprise the immediate early gene (IEG) family. These IEGs, in turn, confer hormonal responsiveness to the four signature genes. Although the IEGs confer responsiveness to GnRH, they cannot act alone. Instead, additional DNA-binding proteins, including the orphan nuclear receptor steroidogenic factor 1, act permissively to allow the four signature genes to respond to GnRH-induced changes in IEG levels. Emerging new findings now indicate that beta-catenin, a transcriptional coactivator and member of the canonical WNT signaling pathway, also plays an essential role in transducing the GnRH signal by interacting with multiple DNA-binding proteins in gonadotropes. Herein we propose that these interactions with beta-catenin define a multicomponent transcriptional network required for regulated expression of the four signature genes of the gonadotrope, Cga, Lhb, Fshb, and Gnrhr.
