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

A potent muscle-specific enhancer element, originally described in the rat myosin light chain (MLC) 1/3 locus located downstream of the coding region, is found in an analogous position in the human MLC1/3 gene. When linked to a CAT reporter gene and transfected into muscle or non-muscle cells, the human MLC enhancer directs high levels of muscle-specific gene expression from homologous or heterologous promoters, irrespective of position or orientation relative to the CAT transcription unit. A significant degree of sequence homology (over 85%) in the 3'-flanking regions of the two MLC genes is restricted to a 200 bp sequence which lies approximately 1.5 kb downstream of the polyadenylation site in both species. The human enhancer sequence includes binding sites for human myogenic determination factors containing a common basic helix-loop-helix motif, and it can be trans-activated to varying degrees in non-muscle cells by these factors. This study establishes the MLC enhancer as an evolutionarily conserved, integral component of the MLC1/3 locus which constitutes a novel target for the action of myogenic determination factors.
