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

In several animal viruses, enhancers have been implicated in both DNA replication and transcriptional activation. The linkage of the two mechanisms appears intimate, in that common DNA binding factors can be shared. The immunoglobulin heavy chain (Igh) intronic [heavy chain joining region (JH)-mu chain constant region (C mu)] enhancer (E mu) is required for tissue-specific transcription of Igh genes and is essential for somatic recombination of diversity (D) and J segments. We show here that E mu is located at or near an origin of chromosomal DNA replication, which is more active in B lymphocytes than fibroblasts. E mu does not fulfill two criteria demonstrated for some cellular origins. E mu can initiate but not maintain autonomous replicating activity in B cells. E mu is unable to impart early replication timing to a transfected VDJ-C mu Igh locus in B cells. Instead we propose that E mu-associated ori activity contributes to tissue-specific Igh expression through local effects on chromatin structure leading to subsequent accessibility of transcription and/or recombination factors for the enhancer.
