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

Recent studies have revealed that hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 (HNF-4) is an essential positive regulator of another liver enriched transcription factor HNF-1, defining a transcriptional hierarchy between the two factors operating in hepatocytes. To assess the possible autoregulation of the HNF-1 gene we have examined the effect of HNF-1 on its own transcription. In transient transfection assays, HNF-1 strongly down-regulated transcription driven by its own promoter in HepG2 cells. In addition HNF-1 also repressed the activity of HNF-4 dependent ApoCIII and ApoAI promoters. The same effect was observed using vHNF-1, a distinct but highly related protein to HNF-1. Both HNF-1 and vHNF-1 downregulated HNF-4 activated transcription from intact and chimeric promoter constructs carrying various HNF-4 binding sites implying that they act by impeding HNF-4 binding or activity. DNA binding and cell free transcription experiments however failed to demonstrate any direct or indirect interaction of HNF-1 and vHNF-1 with the above regulatory regions. Both factors repressed HNF-4 induced transcription of the ApoCIII and HNF-1 genes in HeLa cells, arguing against the requirement of a hepatocyte specific function. These findings define an indirect negative autoregulatory mechanism involved in HNF-1 gene expression, which in turn may affect HNF-4 dependent transcription of other liver specific genes.
