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

MeCP2 (methyl-CpG binding protein 2), an epigenetic regulator, has been shown to regulate the function of neurons and glial cells. Our previous study has demonstrated that MeCP2 repress the myelin gene expression in rat oligodendrocytes but whether MeCP2 bind to myelin gene MBP and PLP is not yet known. Besides oligodendrocytes, C6 glioma also expresses myelin genes and could be used as a model system to study myelin gene expression. In the present study, we determined that MeCP2 directly bind to MBP, PLP, and BDNF promoter in oligodendrocytes. Further, it was found that MeCP2 differentially regulates the myelin gene expression in oligodendrocytes and C6 glioma. In contrast to oligodendrocytes, MeCP2 does not bind to promoter region of MBP and PLP in C6 glioma suggest that MeCP2 differentially regulates the gene expression in different cell types.
