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

Members of the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) are involved in the induction of a number of cytokine genes. We report here cDNA cloning and chromosomal localization of a murine homologue of human NFATx, designated as mNFATx1, and its splicing variants mNFATx2 and m delta NFATx. Northern blot analysis showed mNFATx1 to be predominantly expressed in the thymus. mNFATx1, but not m delta NFATx, produced in COS-7 cells, bound to all NFAT-binding sites of the interleukin (IL)-2 and IL-4 promoters tested. Immunofluorescence assay showed that both mNFATx1 and m delta NFATx introduced into COS-7 cells localized predominantly to the cytoplasm, but did translocate to the nucleus, either by cotransfection with an active form of calcineurin or wild-type calcineurin followed by stimulation with calcium ionophore. Translocation of mNFATx1 correlated well with activation of the murine IL-2 promoter; mNFATx1 translocated under conditions described above, in combination with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, activated the transiently transfected murine IL-2 promoter. Thus, nuclear-translocated mNFATx1 is involved in activation of the IL-2 promoter. These results provide the first evidence for the requirement of calcineurin in the control of mNFATx imported from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and implies that mNFATx may possibly be a substrate of calcineurin in vivo.
