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 issue of how rapid frequency GnRH pulses selectively stimulate LH transcription is not fully understood. The rat LHβ promoter contains two GnRH-responsive regions: the proximal region has binding elements for SF1, and the distal site contains a CArG box, which binds SRF. This study determined whether GnRH stimulates pituitary SF1, DAX1 (an endogenous SF1 inhibitor), and SRF transcription in vivo, and whether regulation is frequency dependent. Male rats were pulsed with 25 ng GnRH i.v. every 30 min or every 240 min for 1-24 h, and primary transcripts (PTs) and mRNAs were measured by real time PCR. Fast frequency GnRH pulses (every 30 min) increased SF1 PT (threefold) within 1 h, and then declined after 6 h. SF1 mRNA also increased within 1 h and remained elevated through 24 h. Fast frequency GnRH also stimulated a transient increase in DAX1 PT (twofold after 1 h) and mRNA (1.7-fold after 6 h), while SRF mRNA rose briefly at 1 h. Slow frequency pulses did not affect gene expression of SF1, DAX1, or SRF. These findings support a mechanistic link between SF1 in the frequency regulation of LHβ transcription by pulsatile GnRH.
