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 human growth hormone (hGH) gene is controlled by a long-range enhancer, HSI, located 14.5 kb 5' to the hGH promoter. HSI establishes a domain of noncoding transcription that is 'looped' to the hGH promoter as an essential step in initiating hGH gene expression. Thus, defining how HSI generates its domain of noncoding transcription is central to understanding its long-range function. Here, we demonstrate that activation of noncoding transcription reflects an HSI-autonomous activity fully independent of interactions with linked gene promoters and occurring in spatial and temporal synchrony with initiation of GH expression in the embryonic pituitary. HSI establishes its noncoding transcription start sites (TSS) over a defined distance from its core determinants and in a manner independent of local primary sequences. The interval between HSI and it TSS co-maps with a domain of disordered and/or highly mobile nucleosomes specific to the pituitary locus. Thus, a localized chromatin reconfiguration by HSI and consequent establishment of an adjacent domain of noncoding transcription constitute initiating events in long-range enhancer function within the hGH locus.
