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 Six1 homeoprotein belongs to the Six (sine oculis) transcription factor family, the members of which are known to act as master regulators of development. Six1 is essential for promoting myogenesis during mammalian somitogenesis. Previous studies have shown that Six1 participates in later steps of myogenic differentiation by enhancing early activation of myogenin via binding to the Mef3 site of the myogenin promoter. In the present study, however, we show that overexpression of Six1 via retroviral infection suppresses the expression of myogenin and myosin in C2C12 myoblasts, consequently retarding myogenic differentiation without affecting cell proliferation or expression of Mef2 and Mef3. These findings further demonstrate the functional role of Six1 in myogenesis.
