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 murine Pgk-1 gene is driven by a strong promoter that is regulated by a 304 bp upstream activator sequence (UAS). The activity of the UAS is high in undifferentiated embryonal carcinoma cells but declines when these cells are induced to differentiate with retinoic acid. The effect of the UAS on promoter activity is particularly striking when the activity of the Pgk-1 promoter is assayed following its integration into the genome, suggesting that it may function by regulating chromatin structure in the region of the core promoter. Three sites on the UAS bind nuclear proteins. Two of these sites bind factors present in both embryonal carcinoma cells and their differentiated derivatives whereas one site binds factors present only in differentiated cells. There appears to be both cooperation and antagonism in the binding of proteins to different sites in the UAS, suggesting that the activity of the Pgk-1 promoter is determined by the constellation of proteins assembled upstream of its transcription start site.
