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

Dmrt7, a member of the Dmrt family of genes, is required for spermatogenesis. However, promoter functions of the gene Dmrt7 remain unknown. We have cloned and characterized the proximal promoter region of the mouse Dmrt7 gene. Functional analysis of the 5' flanking region by sequential deletion mutations revealed crucial positive elements between -60 and +1, in which two highly conserved and tandem CCAAT boxes: the CCAAT box1 (-48/-44) and the CCAAT box2 (-7/-3) are located. Site-directed mutagenesis studies demonstrated that both CCAAT boxes are indispensable to the promoter activity. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) and gel-supershift assays indicated that transcription factor NF-Y binds to the promoter. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis demonstrated that NF-Y interacts in vivo with the promoter of the Dmrt7 gene in testis. Co-transfection and reporter analysis showed that over-expression of NF-Ys increased transcription of the Dmrt7-luc gene whereas expression of a dominant-negative NF-Ya decreased the transcription. This suggests that NF-Y can activate the Dmrt7 promoter. These results provide evidence of a transcription regulatory mechanism that controls Dmrt7 gene expression in mouse testis.
