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

PU.1 is a hematopoietic lineage-specific transcription factor belonging to the Ets family. We investigated the role of PU.1 in the expression of OX40L in dendritic cells (DCs), because the regulatory mechanism of cell type-specific expression of OX40L, which is mainly restricted to antigen-presenting cells, is largely unknown despite the critical involvement in Th2 and Tfh development. PU.1 knockdown decreased the expression of OX40L in mouse DCs. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays demonstrated that PU.1 constitutively bound to the proximal region of the OX40L promoter. Reporter assays and electrophoretic mobility shift assays revealed that PU.1 transactivated the OX40L promoter through direct binding to the most-proximal Ets motif. We found that this Ets motif is conserved between mouse and human, and that PU.1 bound to the human OX40L promoter in ChIP assay using human monocyte-derived DCs. ChIP assays based on ChIP-seq datasets revealed that PU.1 binds to several sites distant from the transcription start site on the OX40L gene in addition to the most-proximal site in mouse DCs. In the present study, the structure of the OX40L promoter regulated by PU.1 is determined. It is also suggested that PU.1 is involved in mouse OX40L expression via multiple binding sites on the gene.
