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

Euryhaline tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) are fish that tolerate a wide salinity range from fresh water to > 3× seawater. Even though the physiological effector mechanisms of osmoregulation that maintain plasma homeostasis in fresh water and seawater fish are well known, the corresponding molecular mechanisms that control switching between hyper- (fresh water) and hypo-osmoregulation (seawater) remain mostly elusive. In this study we show that hyperosmotic induction of glutamine synthetase represents a prominent part of this switch. Proteomics analysis of the O. mossambicus OmB cell line revealed that glutamine synthetase is transcriptionally regulated by hyperosmolality. Therefore, the 5' regulatory sequence of O. mossambicus glutamine synthetase was investigated. Using an enhancer trapping assay, we discovered a novel osmosensitive mechanism by which intron 1 positively mediates glutamine synthetase transcription. Intron 1 includes a single, functional copy of an osmoresponsive element, osmolality/salinity-responsive enhancer 1 (OSRE1). Unlike for conventional enhancers, the hyperosmotic induction of glutamine synthetase by intron 1 is position dependent. But irrespective of intron 1 position, OSRE1 deletion from intron 1 abolishes hyperosmotic enhancer activity. These findings indicate that proper intron 1 positioning and the presence of an OSRE1 in intron 1 are required for precise enhancement of hyperosmotic glutamine synthetase expression.
