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 coordinated expression of CD4 and CD8 during T-cell development is tightly coupled with the maturation state of the T cell. Additionally, the mutually exclusive expression of these receptors in mature T cells is representative of the functional T-cell subclasses (CD4+ helper T cells versus CD8+ cytotoxic T cells). We have studied the regulation CD4 gene transcription during T-cell development in an attempt to gain an understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in T-cell development and differentiation. Here we present the identification of a second transcriptional enhancer in the murine CD4 locus 24 kb upstream of the CD4 promoter. This enhancer is active in mature T cells and is especially active in CD4+ helper T cells. A number of nuclear proteins bind to elements in the minimal CD4 enhancer that includes consensus sites for AP-1, Sp1, Gata, and Ets transcription factor families. We find that the Ets consensus site is crucial for enhancer activity and that the recently identified Ets factor, Elf-1, which is expressed at high levels in T cells and involved in the regulation of several other T-cell-specific genes, is a dominant protein in T-cell nuclear extracts that binds to this site.
