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

Tead4 is critical for blastocyst development and trophoblast differentiation. We assayed long-range chromosomal interactions on the Tead4 promoter in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells and trophoblast stem (TS) cells. Using luciferase reporter assays with ES and TS cells for 34 candidate enhancer regions, we identified five genomic fragments that increased Tead4 promoter activity in a TS-specific manner. The five loci consisted of three intra- and two inter-chromosomal loci relative to Tead4 on chromosome 6. We established five mouse lines with one of the five enhancer elements deleted and evaluated the effect of each deletion on Tead4 expression in blastocysts. By quantitative RT-PCR, we measured a 42% decrease in Tead4 expression in the blastocysts with a homozygous deletion with a 1.5 kb genomic interval on chromosome 19 (n = 14) than in wild-type blastocysts. By conducting RNA-seq analysis, we confirmed the trans effect of this enhancer deletion on Tead4 without significant cis effects on its neighbor genes at least within a 1.7 Mb distance. Our results demonstrated that the genomic interval on chromosome 19 is required for the appropriate level of Tead4 expression in blastocysts and suggested that an inter-chromosomal enhancer-promoter interaction may be the underlying mechanism.
