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

backgroundDespite the importance of the BCL2L11 (BIM) protein in various apoptotic processes in development and disease, little is known of the promoter structure of the human BCL2L11 locus and of the cis-acting elements regulating expression of the human gene.

resultsIn the search for novel promoter sequences in the human BCL2L11 locus, we have identified previously unrecognized genomic sequences displaying promoter activity and E2F responsiveness, and driving the expression of BCL2L11 coding transcripts. In man, transcripts originating from this novel putative promoter contribute significantly to total BCL2L11 mRNA expression in testis, heart and liver. In HEK293 cells, this novel candidate promoter originates BCL2L11 transcripts whose expression can be modulated by a known modulator of BCL2L11 expression (Trichostatin A) and by E2F, a characterized transcriptional regulator of BCL2L11 expression.

conclusionThe identification of a novel putative human BCL2L11 promoter provides new insights into the structure and regulation of the BCL2L11 locus.
