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 human aldolase A gene is transcribed from three alternative promoters, clustered in a small 1.6-kb DNA domain. In transgenic mice, the upstream pN and the downstream pH promoters are ubiquitous, whereas the pM promoter, located between pN and pH, is activated specifically in fast skeletal muscles. A strong ubiquitous enhancer, lying upstream of the pH promoter, is necessary for both pN and pH ubiquitous activities, whereas a fast-muscle-specific enhancer, located upstream of the pM promoter, is required for pM-specific activation. In the present study, we use the transgenic mice model to further investigate the contribution of these two regulatory elements to the overall control of these three promoters. We confirm that the pM and pH promoters are activated independently of each other and, in particular, we show that the activation of pM in fast muscle is not responsible for the downregulation of the downstream pH in this tissue. By contrast, the pN promoter needs the presence of both enhancers to reproduce its correct pattern of activity and is unable to function autonomously in vivo.
