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

Transcription factors expressing Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) domains are key components of the mammalian circadian clockworks found in most cells and tissues. Because these transcription factors interact with other PAS genes mediating xenobiotic metabolism and because toxin responses are often marked by daily variation, we determined whether the toxin-mediated activation of the signaling pathway involving several PAS genes, the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and AhR nuclear translocator (ARNT), fluctuates rhythmically and whether this diurnal oscillation is affected by targeted disruption of key PAS genes in the circadian clockworks, Period 1 (Per1) and Per2. Treatment with the prototypical Ahr ligand, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), had inductive effects on a key target of AhR signaling, Cyp1A1, in both the mammary gland and liver of all animals. In wild type mice, the amplitude of this TCDD-induced Cyp1A1 expression in the mammary gland and liver was significantly greater (23-43-fold) during the night than during the daytime. However, the diurnal variation in the TCDD induction of mammary gland and liver Cyp1A1 expression was abolished in Per1(ldc), Per2(ldc) and Per1(ldc)/Per2(ldc) mutant mice, suggesting that Per1, Per2 and their timekeeping function in the circadian clockworks mediate the diurnal modulation of AhR-regulated responses to TCDD in the mammary gland and liver.
