A focused Real Time PCR strategy to determine GILZ expression in mouse tissues.
Article in Results in immunology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
Glucocorticoid-Induced Leucine Zipper (GILZ) is a glucocorticoid-inducible gene that mediates glucocorticoid anti-inflammatory effects. GILZ and the isoform L-GILZ are expressed in a variety of cell types, especially of hematopoietic origin, including macrophages, lymphocytes and epithelial cells, and strongly upregulated upon glucocorticoid treatment. A quantitative analysis of GILZ expression in mouse tissues is technically difficult to perform because of the presence of a pseudogene and the high homology of GILZ gene with other genes of TSC22 family. We here propose specific primer pairs to be used in Real Time PCR to avoid unwanted amplification of GILZ pseudogene and TSC-22 family member d1iso3. These primer pairs were used to determine GILZ and L-GILZ expression, in either untreated or in vivo and in vitro dexamethasone-treated tissues. Results indicate that GILZ and L-GILZ are upregulated by glucocorticoids, being GILZ more sensitive to glucocorticoid induction than L-GILZ, but they are differently expressed in all examined tissues, confirming a different role in specific cells. An inappropriate primer pair amplified also GILZ pseudogene and TSC22d1iso3, thus producing misleading results. This quantitative evaluation may be used to better characterize the role of GILZ and L-GILZ in mice and may be translated to humans.
