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

Serum induction of c-jun expression in HeLa cells requires a MEF2 site at -59 in the c-jun promoter. MEF2 sites, found in many muscle-specific enhancers, are bound by a family of transcription factors, MEF2A through -D, which are related to serum response factor in their DNA binding domains. We have found that MEF2D is the predominant protein in HeLa cells that binds to the c-jun MEF2 site. Serum induction of a MEF2 reporter gene was not observed in a line of NIH 3T3 cells which contain low MEF2 site binding activity. Transfection of MEF2D into NIH 3T3 cells reconstituted serum induction, demonstrating that MEF2D is required for the serum response. Deletion analysis of MEF2D showed that its DNA binding domain, when fused to a heterologous transcriptional activation domain, was sufficient for serum induction of a MEF2 reporter gene. This is the domain homologous to that in the serum response factor which is required for serum induction of the c-fos serum response element, suggesting that serum regulation of c-fos and c-jun may share a common mechanism.
