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

We have previously shown that the pleiotropic agent sodium butyrate strongly stimulates tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Here we provide the following evidence that the butyrate-induced t-PA expression in HUVEC involves histone H4 acetylation. (1) t-PA induction by butyrate occurs at the transcriptional level and does not require new protein synthesis, indicating a direct effect. (2) t-PA induction by butyrate can be fully mimicked by a specific, structurally unrelated, histone deacetylase inhibitor, trichostatin A. (3) At optimally stimulatory conditions, a combination of butyrate and trichostatin A does not enhance t-PA production more than each of the compounds alone, indicating that both compounds act through a common regulatory mechanism. (4) Induction of t-PA transcription by butyrate and trichostatin A was found to be preceded by histone H4 acetylation; at suboptimal inducing concentrations of butyrate and trichostatin A, the degree of acetylation of histone H4 caused by each agent was similarly reduced. These results are consistent with a role for histone H4 acetylation in t-PA induction by butyrate in HUVEC.
