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

Biosynthesis of TRH, a neuropeptide involved in energy homeostasis, is modulated by glucocorticoids. TRH mRNA and peptide levels are increased upon incubation of hypothalamic cells with dexamethasone or with cAMP analogs but when combined, a mutual antagonism is observed. These effects are observed at the transcriptional level and on binding of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) or pCREB to the composite GRE (cGRE) and CRE-2 sites of TRH promoter. The present work studied the involvement of PKC and MAPK pathways on the effect of dexamethasone and on its interaction with cAMP signaling in hypothalamic cell cultures. PKC or MEK inhibition abolished dexamethasone-stimulatory effect on TRH mRNA levels, as well as its interference with the stimulatory effect of 8Br-cAMP. Binding of nuclear extracts from hypothalamic or neuroblastoma cells stimulated with dexamethasone or 8Br-cAMP to oligonucleotides containing the CRE or cGRE sites of TRH gene promoter was decreased if cells were preincubated with PKC or MEK inhibitors. Mutations on the AP-1 or the GRE half sites of cGRE showed that GR binds as an heterodimer on cGRE, and PKC or MEK inhibitors diminish binding at the AP-1 site. PKC and ERK signaling thus modulate GR activity and its interaction with CREB or AP-1 at the TRH gene promoter.
