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

backgroundEstrogen receptor (ER)α and ERβ are ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate gene expression by binding to estrogen-responsive elements and interacting with several coregulators through protein-protein interactions. Usually, these coregulators bind to the various conserved and functional domains of the receptor through a consensus LXXLL sequence, although variations can be found. The interaction of receptor domains and the consensus motif can be a possible target for nuclear receptor (NR) pharmacology, since modifications in these are responsible for possible pathogenesis of various diseases. PURPOSE: The present study focuses on the secondary structure and conserved domains of the ERα and ERβ interacting proteins, using bioinformatics tools and their relation to the function of the coregulators.

methodsBioinformatics-based prediction tools like STRING, PSIPRED, PROTPARAM and Conserved Domain Database (CDD) were used. The prediction tools utilized in this study basically determines the characteristics of a possible coregulator by using an already existing protein as a template and determines the presence of any conserved consensus sequence. Coregulators have been enlisted with the help of NCBI, STRING and iHOP. The secondary structures were analyzed using PSIPRED and conserved domains were determined using CDD.

resultsThe analysis of the structure has shown the presence of conserved domains and homology between the various coregulators. Each interacting protein contains conserved domains like the nuclear coactivators' domain, the helix-loop-helix domain and the SRC domain.

conclusionSuch studies give the characteristic features of ERα and ERβ interacting proteins and maybe useful to determine their family and uses in NR pharmacology in health and diseases.
