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

Organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1) is a polyspecific transport protein located in the basolateral membrane of renal proximal tubule cells. OAT1 plays a pivotal role in drug clearance. Adverse drug reactions (ADR) are observed more frequently in women than in men, especially ADR are higher in women for drugs which are known interactors of OAT1. Sex-dependent expression of Oat1 has been observed in rodents with a tendency to male-dominant expression. This study aims at elucidating the transcriptional regulation of human OAT1 and tests the effect of estrogen receptor α (ERα). Promoter activation of OAT1 was assessed by luciferase assays carried out by Opossum kidney (OK) cells, transiently transfected with promoter constructs of human OAT1 and expression vectors for ERα and exposed to 100 nmol/L 17β-estradiol. Furthermore, a transcription factor array and proteomic analysis was performed to identify estrogen-induced transcription factors. Human OAT1 was significantly activated by ligand activated ERα. However, activation occurred without a direct interaction of ERα with the OAT1 promoter. Our data rather show an activation of the transcription factors CCAAT-box-binding transcription factor (CBF) and heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (HNRNPK) by ERα, which in turn bind and initiate OAT1 promoter activity. Herewith, we provide novel evidence of estrogen-dependent, transcriptional regulation of polyspecific drug transporters including the estrogen-induced transcription factors CBF and HNRNPK.
