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

Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 4 (HNF-4), a liver-enriched orphan receptor of the nuclear receptor superfamily, is required for the expression of a wide variety of liver-specific genes including apoAI. To explore the possibility that site A of the apoAI gene enhancer might also be the target for HNF-4 without the interference of endogenous mammalian cell proteins that also bind to site A, we tested the ability of HNF-4 to activate transcription from site A in yeast cells. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) and Scatchard plot analysis demonstrated that yeast produced HNF-4 binds to site A with an affinity two times higher than that of yeast produced RXR alpha. Mapping analysis indicated that the 5' portion of site A containing two imperfect direct repeats (TGAACCCTTGACC) and the sequence of the trinucleotide spacer (CCT) between these imperfect repeats are critical determinants for selective binding and transactivation by HNF-4. Similar observations were obtained when these mutated versions of site A were evaluated by transient cotransfection assays in CV1 cells. We conclude that the unique structural determinants of site A in conjunction with the differential binding affinity of HNF-4 for site A may play a fundamental role in apoAI gene regulation.
