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 human ABO blood group system is of great importance in blood transfusion and organ transplantation. ABO transcription is known to be regulated by a constitutive promoter in a CpG island and regions for regulation of cell-specific expression such as the downstream + 22.6-kb site for epithelial cells and a site in intron 1 for erythroid cells. Here we investigated whether the + 22.6-kb site might play a role in transcriptional regulation of the gene encoding odorant binding protein 2B (OBP2B), which is located on the centromere side 43.4 kb from the + 22.6-kb site. In the gastric cancer cell line KATOIII, quantitative PCR analysis demonstrated significantly reduced amounts of OBP2B and ABO transcripts in mutant cells with biallelic deletions of the site created using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, relative to those in the wild-type cells, and Western blotting demonstrated a corresponding reduction of OBP2B protein in the mutant cells. Moreover, single-molecule fluorescence in situ hybridization assays indicated that the amounts of both transcripts were correlated in individual cells. These findings suggest that OBP2B could be co-regulated by the + 22.6-kb site of ABO.
