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 HMG-box transcription factor LEF1 controls many developmentally regulated genes, including genes that activate expression of the T-cell antigen receptor alpha chain (TCR-alpha) in developing thymocytes. At least two distinct isoforms of LEF1 are expressed, resulting from variable inclusion of LEF1 exon 6; however, the expression pattern of these isoforms and mechanism of splicing regulation have not been explored. Here we demonstrate that inclusion of LEF1 exon 6 is increased during thymic development and in response to signaling in a cultured T-cell line in a manner which temporally correlates with increased expression of TCR-alpha. We further find that inclusion of exon 6 is dependent on the signal-induced increase in expression and binding of the splicing factor CELF2 to two intronic sequences flanking the regulated exon. Importantly, loss of exon 6 inclusion, through knockdown of CELF2 or direct block of the exon 6 splice site, results in reduced expression of TCR-alpha mRNA. Together, these data establish the mechanistic basis of LEF1 splicing regulation and demonstrate that LEF1 alternative splicing is a contributing determinant in the optimal expression of the TCR-alpha chain.
