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 myosin light chain IF/3F locus contains two independent promoters, MLC1F and MLC3F, which are differentially activated during skeletal muscle development. Transcription at this locus is regulated by a 3' skeletal muscle enhancer element, which directs correct temporal and tissue-specific expression from the MLC1F promoter in transgenic mice. To investigate the role of this enhancer in regulation of the MLC3F promoter in vivo, we have analyzed reporter gene expression in transgenic mice containing lacZ under transcriptional control of the mouse MLC3F promoter and 3' enhancer element. Our results show that these regulatory elements direct strong expression of lacZ in skeletal muscle; the transgene, however, is activated 4-5 d before the endogenous MLC3F promoter, at the time of initiation of MLC1F transcription. In adult mice, transgene activity is downregulated in muscles that have reduced contributions of type IIB fibers (soleus and diaphragm). The rostrocaudal positional gradient of transgene expression documented for MLC1F transgenic mice (Donoghue, M., J. P. Merlie, N. Rosenthal, and J. R. Sanes. 1991. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 88:5847-5851) is not seen in MLC3F transgenic mice. Although MLC3F was previously thought to be restricted to skeletal striated muscle, the MLC3F-lacZ transgene is expressed in cardiac muscle from 7.5 d of development in a spatially restricted manner in the atria and left ventricular compartments, suggesting that transcriptional differences exist between cardiomyocytes in left and right compartments of the heart. We show here that transgene-directed expression of the MLC3F promoter reflects low level expression of endogenous MLC3F transcripts in the mouse heart.
