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 Scl (Tal1) gene encodes a helix-loop-helix transcription factor essential for hematopoietic stem cell and erythroid development. The Scl +40 enhancer is situated downstream of Map17, the 3' flanking gene of Scl, and is active in transgenic mice during primitive and definitive erythropoiesis. To analyze the in vivo function of the Scl +40 enhancer within the Scl/Map17 transcriptional domain, we deleted this element in the germ line. Scl(Δ40/Δ40) mice were viable with reduced numbers of erythroid CFU in both bone marrow and spleen yet displayed a normal response to stress hematopoiesis. Analysis of Scl(Δ40/Δ40) embryonic stem (ES) cells revealed impaired erythroid differentiation, which was accompanied by a failure to upregulate Scl when erythropoiesis was initiated. Map17 expression was also reduced in hematopoietic tissues and differentiating ES cells, and the Scl +40 element was able to enhance activity of the Map17 promoter. However, only Scl but not Map17 could rescue the Scl(Δ40/Δ40) ES phenotype. Together, these data demonstrate that the Scl +40 enhancer is an erythroid cell-specific enhancer that regulates the expression of both Scl and Map17. Moreover, deletion of the +40 enhancer causes a novel erythroid phenotype, which can be rescued by ectopic expression of Scl but not Map17.
