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

We have investigated the interaction of the kappa immunoglobulin light chain intron and 3' enhancers with two different kappa promoters at distinct stages of B-cell development. We find that transiently transfected reporter gene constructs driven by either the kappa V-region promoter, or the kappa germline promoter, are controlled by the known enhancers of the locus in a developmentally regulated fashion. We have, however, observed differences in promoter activation by each enhancer. Moreover, constructs controlled by a combination of both enhancers are synergistically activated at the B-cell and plasma cell stages as compared with constructs containing either enhancer alone. This synergy is not observed early in development, at the pre-B cell stage. The pattern of enhancer and promoter interactions is discussed in the context of the known developmental regulation of the locus.
