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

The nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) family of dimeric transcription factors regulates a wide range of genes by binding to their specific DNA regulatory sequences. NF-κB is an important therapeutic target linked to a number of cancers as well as autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Therefore, effective high-throughput methods for the detection of NF-κB DNA binding are essential for studying its transcriptional activity and for inhibitory drug screening. We describe here a novel fluorescence-based assay for quantitative detection of κB consensus double-stranded (ds) DNA binding by measuring the thermal stability of the NF-κB proteins. Specifically, DNA binding proficient NF-κB probes, consisting of the N-terminal p65/RelA (aa 1-306) and p50 (aa 1-367) regions, were designed using bioinformatic analysis of protein hydrophobicity, folding and sequence similarities. By measuring the SYPRO Orange fluorescence during thermal denaturation of the probes, we detected and quantified a shift in the melting temperatures (ΔTm) of p65/RelA and p50 produced by the dsDNA binding. The increase in Tm was proportional to the concentration of dsDNA with apparent dissociation constants (K
