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

Reconstitution of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR)-regulated mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) promoter in Xenopus oocytes was used to monitor the effects of different transcription factor contexts. Three constitutively binding factors, nuclear factor 1 (NF1), octamer transcription factor 1 (Oct1), and the Forkhead box A1 (FoxA1), were shown to act in concert, to direct the chromatin structure, and to enhance the GR response. FoxA1 has a dominant effect in the absence of hormone and induces a cluster of DNase I-hypersensitive sites in the segment comprising bp -400 to +25. This FoxA1-mediated chromatin remodeling does not induce MMTV transcription, as opposed to that of the GR. However, the robust FoxA1-dependent chromatin opening has the following drastic functional consequences on the hormone regulation: (i) GR-DNA binding is facilitated, as revealed by dimethyl sulfate in vivo footprinting, leading to increased hormone-induced transcription, and (ii) the GR antagonist RU486 is converted into a partial agonist in the presence of FoxA1 via ligand-independent GR activation. We conclude that FoxA1 mediates a preset chromatin structure and directs a context-specific response of a nuclear receptor. Furthermore, the alternative nucleosome arrangement induced by GR and FoxA1 implies this to be determined by constitutive binding of transcription factors rather than by the DNA sequence itself.
