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

As the regulator of pituitary reproductive hormone synthesis, the hypothalamic neuropeptide GnRH is the central regulator of reproduction. A hallmark of GnRH action is the differential control of gene expression in pituitary gonadotropes through varied pulsatile stimulation. Among other signaling events, GnRH activation of the ERK family of MAPKs plays a significant role in the transcriptional regulation of the luteinizing hormone β-subunit gene and regulation of cap-dependent translation. We evaluated the ERK response to different GnRH pulse amplitudes in the gonadotrope cell line LβT2. We found that low-amplitude stimulation with GnRH invokes a rapid and transient ERK activation, whereas high-amplitude stimulation invokes a prolonged activation specifically in the cytoplasm fraction of LβT2 cells. Nuclear and cytoplasmic targets of ERK, Ets-like gene 1, and eukaryotic initiation factor 4E, respectively, are similarly activated. Feedback control of ERK activation occurs mainly through the dual-specificity protein phosphatases (DUSPs). DUSP1 is localized to the nucleus in LβT2 cells but DUSP4, another member implicated in GnRH feedback, exists in both the nucleus and cytoplasm. Manipulation of nuclear DUSP activity through overexpression or knockdown of Dusp1 modulates the ERK response to low and high GnRH pulse amplitudes and activation of the Lhb promoter. Dusp1 overexpression abolishes sustained ERK activation and inhibits Lhb promoter activity induced by high amplitude pulses. Conversely, Dusp1 knockdown enhances ERK activation by low-amplitude stimulation and increases stimulation of Lhb promoter activity. We conclude that DUSP1 feedback activity modulates ERK activation and the transcriptional response to GnRH.
