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

Protein translation factors have crucial roles in a variety of stress responses. Here, we show that eukaryotic elongation factor 1Bδ (eEF1Bδ) changes its structure and function from a translation factor into a heat-shock response transcription factor by alternative splicing. The long isoform of eEF1Bδ (eEF1BδL) is localized in the nucleus and induces heat-shock element (HSE)-containing genes in cooperation with heat-shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1). Moreover, the amino-terminal domain of eEF1BδL binds to NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and induces stress response haem oxygenase 1 (HO1). Specific inhibition of eEF1BδL with small-interfering RNA completely inhibits Nrf2-dependent HO1 induction. In addition, eEF1BδL directly binds to HSE oligo DNA in vitro and associates with the HSE consensus in the HO1 promoter region in vivo. Thus, the transcriptional role of eEF1BδL could provide new insights into the molecular mechanism of stress responses.
