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

HOX A genes are induced in a temporal fashion after retinoic acid (RA) treatment in non-N-ras-transformed PA-1 human teratcarcinoma cells. However, In N-ras-transformed PA-1 cells, RA-Induced expression of HOX A genes is delayed. The mRNA for the transcriptional activator AP-2 is overexpressed in these ras-transformed cells, but AP-2 transcriptional activity is inhibited relative to non ras-transformed PA-1 cells. Constitutive expression of AP-2 mimics the effect of ras by transforming cells and inhibiting differentiation in culture. We analyzed 4 kb of the human HOX A4 gene promoter and identified seven putative AP-2-binding sites in the DNA sequence. Transcription assays with variably sized HOX A4 promoter reporter constructs revealed that a 365 bp region of the promoter, -2950 to -3315 relative to the mRNA start, controls RA responsiveness and ras-mediated inhibition of HOX A4 activity. This region contains an AP-2 binding site and a RARE. Elimination of the AP-2 site by site-directed mutagenesis demonstrated that the AP-2 site is involved in RA-mediated transcriptional activation of the human HOX A4 promoter in combination with the RA receptor response element (RARE). In N-ras-transformed cells, low HOX A4 promoter activity results from ras inhibition of AP-2 transactivation.
