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

E boxes, recognition sequences for basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors, are detected in the enhancer and promoter regions of several murine type C retroviruses. Here we show that ALF1, a member of bHLH protein family of transcription factors, in vitro binds with differing affinities to distinct E-box sequences found in the U3 regulatory regions of Friend, Moloney, SL3-3, and Akv murine leukemia viruses (MLVs) as well as Friend spleen focus-forming virus (SFFV). In NIH 3T3 fibroblasts, ALF1 overexpression elevated transcription from the U3 region of Moloney MLV and the complete long terminal repeat regions of Friend SFFV, Akv MLV, and SL3-3 MLV but neither from the U3 region nor from the complete long terminal repeat of Friend MLV. Introduction of mutations in the Akv MLV E boxes showed the E-box cis elements to be required for the function of ALF1 as a transcription factor. ALF1 and the glucocorticoid receptor, with overlapping DNA binding sequences, did not act synergistically with respect to transcriptional trans activation of expression from the Akv MLV promoter-enhancer region. We conclude that ALF1 in vivo may be an important transcription regulator for Akv, SL3-3, and Moloney MLVs as well as for Friend SFFV.
