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 transcriptional coactivator PGC-1alpha is a potent regulator of several metabolic pathways, including, in particular, the activation of oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial biogenesis. Recent evidence suggests that increasing PGC-1alpha activity may have beneficial effects in various conditions, including muscular dystrophy, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases. We describe here a high-throughput screen to identify small molecules that induce PGC-1alpha expression in skeletal muscle cells. A number of drug classes are identified, including glucocorticoids, microtubule inhibitors, and protein synthesis inhibitors. These drugs induce PGC-1alpha mRNA, and the expression of a number of genes known to be regulated by PGC-1alpha. No induction of these target genes is seen in PGC-1alpha -/- cells, demonstrating that the drugs act through PGC-1alpha. These data demonstrate the feasibility of high-throughput screening for inducers of PGC-1alpha. Moreover, the data identify microtubule inhibitors and protein synthesis inhibitors as modulators of PGC-1alpha and oxidative phosphorylation.
