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

backgroundThe Runt-related transcription factors (Runx) are a family of evolutionarily conserved transcriptional regulators that play multiple roles in the developmental control of various cell types. Among the three mammalian Runx proteins, Runx1 is essential for definitive hematopoiesis and its dysfunction leads to human leukemogenesis. There are two promoters, distal (P1) and proximal (P2), in the Runx1 gene, which produce two Runx1 isoforms with distinct N-terminal amino acid sequences, P1-Runx1 and P2-Runx1. However, it remains unclear whether P2-Runx specific N-terminal sequence have any specific function for Runx1 protein.

resultsTo address the function of the P2-Runx1 isoform, we established novel mutant mouse models in which the translational initiation AUG (+1) codon for P2-Runx1 isoform was modulated. We found that a truncated P2-Runx1 isoform is translated from a downstream non-canonical AUG codon. Importantly, the truncated P2-Runx1 isoform is sufficient to support primary hematopoiesis, even in the absence of the P1-Runx1 isoform. Furthermore, the truncated P2-Runx1 isoform was able to restore defect in basophil development caused by loss of the P1-Runx1 isoform. The truncated P2-Runx1 isoform was more stable than the canonical P2-Runx1 isoform.

conclusionsOur results demonstrate that the N-terminal sequences specific for P2-Runx1 are dispensable for Runx1 function, and likely serve as a de-stabilization module to regulate Runx1 production.
