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 p70 (Ku) autoantigen has been described as a nonhistone nuclear protein recognized by antibodies from lupus patients. In our studies on the regulation of T-cell receptor (TCR) beta-chain gene expression we have identified the p70 lupus autoantigen as a DNA-binding protein that binds the enhancer of the TCR beta-chain gene. This enhancer is essential for expression of the TCR beta gene. The core TCR beta enhancer contains the E3 motif, which we show here is essential for enhancer activity. The protection of the E3 motif in T cells and the marked reduction in enhancer activity when the E3 motif is mutated underline its physiological importance in regulating beta enhancer activity. The p70 lupus autoantigen gene was identified by screening T-cell lambda gt11 libraries with an E3 probe. The gene encodes a protein which binds the E3 motif in a sequence-specific manner. The identification of a 70-kDa protein as a major E3-binding protein by UV crosslinking is consistent with the conclusion that the p70 lupus autoantigen binds the beta enhancer. Finally, we have shown that T-cell nuclear proteins which bind the E3 motif bear p70 (Ku) lupus autoantigenic determinants. Together these data suggest that the p70 autoantigen binds a critical motif in the beta enhancer and probably regulates TCR beta gene expression.
