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

Estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRalpha) and proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1alpha (PGC-1alpha) play central roles in the transcriptional control of energy homeostasis, but little is known about factors regulating their activity. Here we identified the homeobox protein prospero-related homeobox 1 (Prox1) as one such factor. Prox1 interacts with ERRalpha and PGC-1alpha, occupies promoters of metabolic genes on a genome-wide scale, and inhibits the activity of the ERRalpha/PGC-1alpha complex. DNA motif analysis suggests that Prox1 interacts with the genome through tethering to ERRalpha and other factors. Importantly, ablation of Prox1 and ERRalpha have opposite effects on the respiratory capacity of liver cells, revealing an unexpected role for Prox1 in the control of energy homeostasis.
