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

Expression of mouse serum amyloid A (SAA1, -2, and -3) mRNAs can be induced up to 1,000-fold in the liver in response to acute inflammation. This large increase is primarily the result of a 200-fold increase in the rates of SAA gene transcription. To analyze the cis-acting regulatory element(s) responsible for regulating transcription, we fused 306 base pairs of the mouse SAA3 promoter to a reporter gene, the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene, and transfected this chimeric DNA into cultured cells. In transient expression assays, this 5' sequence was sufficient to confer cell-specific expression: CAT activity was readily detectable when the construct was transfected into liver-derived cells but was not detectable in nonliver cells. Furthermore, when liver cells transfected with this construct were treated with conditioned media prepared from activated mixed lymphocyte cultures or with recombinant interleukin-1, a 10- to 15-fold increase in CAT activity was detected. Deletion analyses showed two regions of interest: a proximal region that enhanced CAT expression in a cell-specific manner and a distal region that conferred responsiveness to both conditioned media and recombinant interleukin-1. This distal responsive element had properties of an inducible transcriptional enhancer, and deletion of the proximal cell-specific region rendered the distal element responsive to stimulation by conditioned media in nonliver cells.
