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

A pyrimidine element with mirror repeats centered at position -192 bp of the chick alpha2(I) collagen promoter interacts with sequence-specific DNA-binding factors. These factors bind to only the pyrimidine strand of this region and have no affinity for the complementary purine strand. Binding activity is also seen with the double-stranded form of this element, but with less affinity than to the single-stranded pyrimidine species. Southwestern blot analyses have shown that proteins of 80 and 134 kDa in chick embryo fibroblast nuclear-extracts bind to the pyrimidine strand, whereas only a 134 kDa DNA-binding protein was found in chondrocyte nuclear extracts. The binding mechanism of these nuclear proteins with single-stranded DNA might be based on a non-B-DNA conformation of the pyrimidine element. The position of this binding site in the promoter region, its potential for adopting an unusual secondary structure and the presence of the 80 kDa binding factor in chick embryo fibroblasts, but not in chondrocytes, suggest a possible role for this factor in the expression of the alpha2(I) collagen gene.
