Lithium chloride regulation of the substance P encoding preprotachykinin a, Tac1 gene in rat hippocampal primary cells.
Article in Journal of molecular neuroscience : MN, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
In rat hippocampal cultures, the preprotachykinin A (PPTA/Tac1) gene, which encodes the neuropeptide substance P, is regulated by the action of lithium. We used reporter gene and expression constructs to demonstrate that this mechanism of action of lithium is mediated via a previously characterised cis-regulatory Ebox element in the proximal promoter, which binds members of the basic Helix-Loop-Helix family of transcription factors. Consistent with this, in hippocampal cells, both the expression of the endogenous gene and the function of this promoter element are differentially regulated by the basic Helix-Loop-Helix factors, upstream stimulatory factor 1 and 2 (USF1/2). In addition, the genes for USF1 and USF2 are differentially regulated by lithium in these cells. Our data implicate USF1 as a major regulator of the action of lithium on the proximal PPTA promoter.
