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 hormonal regulation of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase gene expression was studied in the rat hepatoma cell line FAO-1. Both 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase and fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase activities were detected in FAO-1 cells, at 68% of the levels found in rat liver. Northern blot analysis showed that FAO-1 cells, like rat liver, contained a predominant species of bifunctional enzyme mRNA, which is 2.2 kb in size. A sensitive RNAase protection assay revealed the presence in FAO-1 cells of an additional mRNA species, which is generated when transcription is initiated from the skeletal muscle promoter of the rat liver/skeletal muscle gene. The liver/skeletal muscle mRNA ratio in FAO-1 cells was 10:1, which is similar to that observed in rat liver. In contrast, in another rat hepatoma cell line, FTO-2B, only the skeletal muscle mRNA was detected. Insulin and dexamethasone induced the liver bifunctional enzyme mRNA in FAO-1 cells by 2-4-fold and 10-20-fold respectively in a concentration- and time-dependent manner, and their effects were antagonized by cyclic AMP. Transcription of the gene in FAO-1 cells, measured by nuclear run-on assays, was also enhanced by dexamethasone and insulin. It is concluded that the FAO-1 cell line is similar to liver with respect to both the preferential use of the liver promoter of the gene and its regulation by hormones, and is therefore an excellent model for the study of the hepatic expression of this gene.
