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 different forms of the Oct-2 and Brn-3 POU family transcription factors can have distinct effects on their target promoters involving both the activation and repression of gene expression. To investigate the requirements for these effects we have altered both the context and spacing of the two TAATGARAT binding sites for these factors within the herpes simplex virus immediate-early 3 gene promoter. We show that the activation of this promoter by Brn-3a and its repression by Brn-3b is dependent on the correct spacing of these binding sites. In contrast, repression of the promoter by Oct-2.4 and Oct-2.5 is dependent on both the spacing and context of these sites with the requirements for repression by Oct-2.4 or Oct-2.5 being different. These effects are discussed in the context of the mechanisms by which POU factors activate or repress their target genes.
