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 retinal homeobox (Rx/rax) gene is essential for the development of the eye. Rax is among the earliest genes expressed during eye development, beginning in the prospective eye fields in the anterior neural plate. Additionally Rax expression persists in retinal progenitor cells and in differentiated photoreceptors. We have isolated and characterized a 2.8 kb genomic DNA fragment that regulates expression of Rax in the developing and maturing retina. We have discovered and characterized cis-acting elements that function to specifically control spatial and temporal Rax expression during retinal development. We have found that the regulation of Rax2A promoter activity requires cooperative interactions between positive and negative regulatory elements. Further, a highly conserved genomic element containing SOX, OTX, and POU transcription factor binding sites is necessary but not sufficient for promoter activity in retinal progenitor or stem cells. Finally, a putative binding element for forkhead transcription factors is necessary for promoter activity and can cooperate with other cis-acting elements to drive Rax2A promoter activity.
