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

Previous studies have defined transcriptional control elements, in addition to the promoters, that both lie near individual human beta-globin locus genes and have been implicated in their differential stage-specific regulation during development (i.e., are believed to directly participate in hemoglobin switching). We have reinvestigated the activities during erythropoiesis that might be conferred by two of the more intensively analyzed of these elements, the epsilon-globin gene 5' silencer and the beta-globin gene 3' enhancer, by deleting them from a yeast artificial chromosome that spans the human beta-globin locus, and then analyzing transgenic mice for expression of all of the human genes. These studies show that sequences within the epsilon-globin "silencer" are not only required for silencing but are also required for activation of epsilon-globin transcription; furthermore, deletion of the silencer simultaneously reduced gamma-globin transcription during the yolk sac stage of erythroid development. Analysis of the adult beta-globin gene 3' enhancer deletion showed that its deletion affects only that gene.
