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

To better understand the diversity of function within the POU domain class of transcriptional regulators, we have determined the optimal DNA recognition site of several proteins of the POU-IV (Brn-3) subclass by random oligonucleotide selection. The consensus recognition element derived in this study, ATAATTAAT, is clearly distinct from octamer sites described for the POU factor Oct-1. The optimal POU-IV site determined here also binds Brn-3.0 with significantly higher affinity than consensus recognition sites previously proposed for this POU subclass. The binding affinity of Brn-3.0 on its optimal site, several variants of this site, and several naturally occurring POU recognition elements is highly correlated with the activation of reporter gene expression by Brn-3.0 in transfection assays. The preferred DNA recognition site of Brn-3.0 resembles strongly the optimal sites of another mammalian POU-IV class protein, Brn-3.2, and of the Caenorhabditis elegans Brn-3.0 homolog Unc-86, demonstrating that the site-specific DNA recognition properties of these factors are highly conserved between widely divergent species.
