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

Phospholamban (PLB) is a critical regulator of Ca(2+) cycling in heart muscle cells, and its gene expression is markedly down-regulated by T(3). Nonetheless, little is known about the molecular mechanisms of T(3)-dependent gene silencing in cardiac muscle, and it remains unclear whether thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) directly bind at the PLB gene in vivo and facilitate transcriptional repression. To investigate the regulatory role of TRs in PLB transcription, we used a physiological murine heart muscle cell line (HL-1) that retains cardiac electrophysiological properties, expresses both TRalpha1 and TRbeta1 subtypes, and exhibits T(3)-dependent silencing of PLB expression. By performing RNA interference assays with HL-1 cells, we found that TRalpha1, but not TRbeta1, is essential for T(3)-dependent PLB gene repression. Interestingly, a PLB reporter gene containing only the core promoter sequences -156 to +64 displayed robust T(3)-dependent silencing in HL-1 cells, thus suggesting that transcriptional repression is facilitated by TRalpha1 via the PLB core promoter, a regulatory region highly conserved in mammals. Consistent with this notion, chromatin immunoprecipitation and in vitro binding assays show that TRalpha1 directly binds at the PLB core promoter region. Furthermore, addition of T(3) triggered alterations in covalent histone modifications at the PLB promoter that are associated with gene silencing, namely a pronounced decrease in both histone H3 acetylation and histone H3 lysine 4 methylation. Taken together, our data reveal that T(3)-dependent repression of PLB in cardiac myocytes is directly facilitated by TRalpha1 and involves the hormone-dependent recruitment of histone-modifying enzymes associated with transcriptional silencing.
