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

Developing neurons undergo a series of maturational stages, and the timing of these events is critical for formation of synaptic circuitry. Here we addressed temporal regulation of the Gabra6 gene, which is expressed in a delayed manner during dendritogenesis in maturing cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs). Developmental up-regulation of Gabra6 transcription required a binding site for nuclear factor I (NFI) proteins. The amounts and DNA binding activities of NFI proteins were similar in immature and mature CGNs; however, NFI occupancy of the Gabra6 promoter in native chromatin was temporally delayed in parallel with Gabra6 gene expression, both in vivo and in culture. The trans-repressor RE1 silencing transcription factor (REST) occupied the Gabra6 proximal promoter in CGN progenitors and early postmitotic CGNs, and its departure mirrored the initial onset of NFI binding as CGNs differentiated. Furthermore constitutive REST expression blocked both Gabra6 expression and NFI occupancy in mature CGNs, whereas REST knockdown in immature CGNs accelerated the initiation of both events. These studies identify a novel mechanism for controlling the timing of dendritogenesis-associated gene expression in maturing neurons through delayed binding of NFI proteins to chromatin. They also establish a temporal function for REST in preventing premature promoter occupancy by NFI proteins in early-stage postmitotic neurons.
