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

Notch is a conserved signaling pathway that plays essential roles during embryonic development and postnatally in adult tissues; misregulated signaling results in human disease. Notch receptor-ligand interactions trigger cleavage of the Notch receptor and release of its intracellular domain (NICD) from the membrane. NICD localizes to the nucleus where it forms a transcriptionally active complex with the DNA-binding protein CSL and the coactivator Mastermind (MAM) to up-regulate transcription from Notch target genes. Previous studies have determined the structure of the CSL-NICD-MAM ternary complex and characterized mutations that affect complex assembly in functional assays. However, as CSL is expressed in all cell types, these studies have been limited to analyzing mutations in NICD and MAM. Here, we describe a novel set of cellular reagents to characterize how mutations in CSL affect its function as a transcriptional activator. Using retrovirally transduced embryonic fibroblasts from a CSL-null mouse, we generated cell lines that express either wild-type or mutant CSL molecules. We then analyzed these mutants for defects in Notch1- (NICD1) or Notch2 (NICD2)-mediated activation from two different transcriptional reporters (HES-1 or 4×CBS). Our results show that mutations targeted to the different domains of CSL display significant differences in their ability to adversely affect transcription from the two reporters. Additionally, a subset of CSL mutants is sensitive to whether NICD1 or NICD2 was used to activate the reporter. Taken together, these studies provide important molecular insights into how Notch transcription complexes assemble at different target genes and promoter arrangements in vivo.
