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

Transgenic analysis has indicated that far upstream regulatory elements of the cardiac alpha-myosin heavy chain (MyHC) gene are required for appropriate transgene expression [Subramaniam, Gulick, Neumann, Knotts and Robbins (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 4331-4336]. In an attempt to identify these as-yet-undefined regulatory elements, we mapped the DNase I hypersensitive sites (DHSs) in the 4 kb upstream region of the hamster cardiac alpha-MyHC gene. When using nuclei isolated from late-gestational and adult heart ventricles, a strong DHS was identified in the -1.9 kb region (alpha-1.9 kb site). It cannot be detected in kidney, liver or cardiofibroblast nuclei. Within this site, we found a conserved GATA-motif that interacts specifically with GATA-binding factors in nuclear extracts of cardiomyocytes at various developmental stages. These data provide further evidence to support the role of GATA factors in the regulation of cardiac alpha-MyHC gene expression.
