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

YB-1 controls gene expression at both the transcriptional and translational levels. In the brain, a high level of YB-1 is expressed from prior to the first week after birth. However, YB-1 expression substantially declines to the adult level thereafter. Here, we investigated the regulatory mechanism of YB-1 transcription in the postnatal brain. We found that an E-box sequence within the 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR) of the gene was recognized by Math2 in the 5-day-old brain, whereas the DNA binding was reduced in the 4-week-old brain. In vitro transcription analysis and reporter gene assay revealed that Math2 was necessary for YB-1 transcription. Furthermore, the expression pattern of Math2 protein in the postnatal brain was correlated with that of YB-1 protein. Our results suggest that YB-1 transcription in the postnatal brain is regulated by Math2, which binds to an E-box in the 5'-UTR of the YB-1 gene.
