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

The transcriptional coactivator CIITA regulates MHC class II genes. In the mouse, CIITA is expressed from three distinct promoters (pI, pIII, and pIV) in a developmental and cell type-specific manner with pIII being responsible for B lymphocyte-specific expression. Although the promoter proximal sequences that regulate CIITA in B cells have been described, nothing is known about additional distal elements that may regulate its expression in B cells. Sequence homology comparisons, DNase I hypersensitivity assays, and histone modification analysis revealed a potential regulatory element located 11 kb upstream of pIII. Deletion of this element, termed hypersensitive site 1 (HSS1), in a bacterial artificial chromosome encoding the entire CIITA locus and surrounding genes, resulted in a complete loss of CIITA expression from the bacterial artificial chromosome following transfection into B cells. HSS1 and pIII displayed open chromatin architecture features in B cell but not in plasma cell lines, which are silenced for CIITA expression. PU.1 was found to bind HSS1 and pIII in B cells but not in plasma cells. Depletion of PU.1 by short hairpin RNA reduced CIITA expression. Chromatin conformation capture assays showed that HSS1 interacted directly with pIII in B cells and that PU.1 was important for this interaction. These results provide evidence that HSS1 is required for B cell-specific expression of CIITA and that HSS1 functions by interacting with pIII, forming a long-distance chromatin loop that is partly mediated through PU.1.
