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 large zinc finger proteins, ZAS, regulate the transcription of a variety of genes involved in cell growth, development, and metastasis. They also function in the signal transduction of the TGF-beta and TNF-alpha pathways. However, the endogenous protein of a representative member, ZAS3, is rapidly degraded in primary lymphocytes, which limits the determination of its physiological function in vitro. Therefore, we have generated mice with targeted disruption of ZAS3. Oligonucleotide-based microarray analyses revealed subtle but consistent differences in the expression of genes, many of which are associated with receptor or signal transduction activities between ZAS3+/+ and ZAS3-/- thymi. Gel mobility shift assays showed altered DNA binding activities of NF-kappaB and AP-1 proteins in ZAS3-deficient tissues, including the thymus. Lymphocyte analysis suggested a subtle but broad function of ZAS3 in regulating T-cell development and activation. In CD3+ ZAS3-/- thymocytes, the CD4/ CD8 ratio was decreased and CD69 expression was decreased. In peripheral CD4+ ZAS3-/- lymphocytes we observed an increased number of memory T cells.
