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

Expression of the human thyrotropin beta (hTSHbeta) gene is restricted to thyrotrophs, at least in part, by silencing. Using transient-transfection assays, we have localized a silencer element to a region between -128 and -480 bp upstream of the transcription initiation site. The silencing activity was overcome in a thyrotroph-specific manner by an unknown enhancer located in the sequences at -approximately 10000 to -1200 bp. The ubiquitous POU homeodomain protein Oct-1 recognized the A/T-rich silencer element at multiple sites in gel mobility shift assays and in vitro footprinting analyses. The silencing activity of Oct-1 was localized in its C-terminal alanine-rich domain, suggesting that Oct-1 plays a role in silencing of the hTSHbeta promoter. Further, a significant fraction of Oct-1 was shown to be associated with the nuclear matrix, and the hTSHbeta silencer region was tethered to a nuclear matrix of human cells in vivo, suggesting a possible role of the Oct-1-hTSHbeta silencer region interaction in chromatin organization.
