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 present knowledge concerning the alpha- and beta-adrenergic systems in the regulation of cardiac growth and gene expression is reviewed. To investigate the mechanism by which cAMP regulates the expression of cardiac genes we have used cultured myocytes derived from fetal rat hearts. We have shown previously that the addition of Br cAMP to the culture medium produced an increase in alpha-myosin heavy chain (alpha-MHC) mRNA level, in its rate of transcription as well as in the amount of V1 isomyosin. To characterize the promoter element(s) involved in cAMP responsive regulation of alpha-MHC expression we performed transient transfection analysis with a series of alpha-MHC gene promoter-CAT constructs. We have identified a 13 bp E-box/M-CAT hybrid motif (EM element) which conferred a basal muscle specific and cAMP inducible expression of the alpha-MHC gene. Using mobility shift assay we have documented that one of the EM element binding protein is TEF-1. Moreover, by incubating cardiac nuclear extracts with the catalytic subunit of PK-A we have found that factor(s) binding to the EM element is a substrate for cAMP dependent phosphorylation.
