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 induced differentiation of F9 cells by retinoic acid (RA) and cyclic AMP (cAMP) activated transcription of the tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) gene. This differentiation-responsive regulation of the t-PA promoter was also observed in transient assays. Multiple sequence elements within 243 bp of t-PA DNA contributed to the high level of transcription in retinoic acid- and cyclic AMP-differentiated cells. To investigate the factors involved in controlling t-PA transcription upon differentiation, we used F9 cell extracts to examine proteins that bind two proximal promoter elements. These elements (boxes 4 and 5) are homologous to GC boxes that are known binding sites for transcription factor Sp1. Mobility shift assays in the presence and absence of anti-Sp1 antibodies demonstrated that the proteins which bound to this region were immunologically related to human Sp1. The proteins also had a DNA-binding specificity similar to that of a truncated form of Sp1. Mutations of the GC motif within boxes 4 and 5 that interfered with Sp1 binding reduced in parallel the binding of the F9 cellular factors and lowered transcription in vitro as well as in vivo. Although this proximal region of the t-PA promoter was active in vivo only in differentiated cells, the Sp1-like binding proteins were present in equal concentrations and had similar properties in extracts of both stem and differentiated cells. These data suggest that other cellular elements participate with this Sp1-like factor in controlling differentiation-specific expression.
