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 kappa B-motif is an important regulatory element both for constitutive lymphoid-specific as well as ubiquitous inducible transcriptional activity. We have shown previously that different members of the NF-kappa B/Rel family of transcription factors are responsible for these distinct functions. Whereas the p65/RelA protein is involved in inducible kappa B-dependent transcription, RelB is associated with constitutive activity in lymphoid cells. Here we have addressed the question of how RelB is constitutively activated in lymphoid cells. We demonstrate that this is achieved by two different mechanisms. Expression of relB as determined by measurement of stable RNA and protein levels is significantly enhanced in lymphoid organs compared with non-lymphoid organs. However, these observed differences in absolute amounts of RNA and protein would not suffice to explain the dramatic differences that are apparent at the level of active DNA binding complexes in extracts from the respective organs. We have therefore analyzed the interaction of RelB complexes with the I kappa B-alpha inhibitor protein. Our results show that RelB-containing complexes present in lymphoid extracts are much less susceptible to inhibition by I kappa B-alpha than RelA- or RelB-containing complexes from non-lymphoid cells. This difference might be due to post-translational modifications of the RelB protein or interaction with a lymphoid-specific cofactor for RelB.
