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

Forkhead box protein 3 (Foxp3) is indispensable for the development of CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs). Here we analyzed three prominent evolutionary conserved regions (ECRs) upstream of the transcription start site of the human FOXP3 gene. We show that ECR2 and ECR3 fragments derived from positions -1.3 to -2.0 kb and -5.0 to -6.0 kb, respectively, display basal transcriptional activity. Reporter constructs derived from ECR1, located between -0.6 and +0.23 kb and thus the most proximal ECR in respect of transcription initiation, remained almost inactive. However, ECR1 was transactivated by the NF-kappaB subunit p65 in HEK 293 cells. In Jurkat and primary T cells, in addition to p65, a second stimulus delivered by either T-cell receptor stimulation or addition of PMA was needed. Co-expression of I kappaB alpha inhibited p65-mediated FOXP3 proximal promoter transactivation, and the NF-kappaB inhibitor curcumin reduced Foxp3 neoexpression in IL-2/CD3/CD28/TGF-beta stimulated PBMCs. Moreover, proximal FOXP3 promoter transactivation was inhibited by Foxp3 and the SP transcription factor family member SP3. Thus, the human proximal FOXP3 promoter is controlled by activation through the TCR involving PKC and the NF-kappaB subunit p65 and by inhibition through a negative feedback loop and SP3.
