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 CD2 associated protein (CD2AP) is characterized as a T-lymphocyte CD2 adapter protein and is found to be related to glomerulosclerosis, and CD2AP knockout mice develop a rapid onset nephrotic syndrome and die of renal failure. Here we report that the transcription factor Sp1 and Sp3 up-regulate the basal transcriptional activity of CD2AP and increase CD2AP expression at mRNA level. We show by Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay that Sp1 and Sp3 interact with the CD2AP promoter region in vivo. By transient transfection analysis we also demonstrate the mutations of Sp1/3 binding sites result in a profound reduction of CD2AP promoter activity. Overexpression of Sp1 and Sp3 transactivates the CD2AP promoter, whereas small interfering RNA-mediated (siRNA) blockage of Sp1 and Sp3 genes expressions inhibits markedly its activity. These results suggest that Sp1 and Sp3 play an important role in regulating CD2AP transcription through binding to the Sp1/3 binding sites.
