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 transcriptional mechanisms through which androgens and androgen receptor (AR) exert specific effects on human tissues remain elusive. Here, we demonstrated that neuronal cell-specific transcription factors (TFs) may play an important role as epigenetic modifiers that shape the AR cistrome during neuronal activity. The binding of GATA3 to specific regulatory sequences in human neuronal cell models is associated with enhanced AR-mediated transcription. AR-binding sites (ARBSs) are enriched in regions overlapping with super-enhancers (SEs) that encode critical neuronal factors. Furthermore, AR signaling in aged human male brains indicates its role in supporting neural function and declines during the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The expression levels of AR-associated TFs were dysregulated during aging and AD development. Altered expression of TFs may contribute to disruption of AR signaling. Thus, collaborative TFs could contribute to the neuronal androgen response and epigenetic regulation involved in aging and the progression of dementia.
