A specific distal promoter controls gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase gene expression in undifferentiated rat transformed liver cells.

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.
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
In rat undifferentiated hepatoma cells, the gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) gene is transcribed into a 2.3 and a 2.6 kb mRNA which, in contrast with other rat GGT transcripts, are not detected in more differentiated liver cells or adult tissues. Analysis of the cDNA sequences obtained from H5 hepatoma cells reveals that these two transcripts differ from other GGT mRNAs by a 312-nt unique untranslated leader sequence; this sequence maps on the gene in a single exon 10 kb upstream from the GGT promoter IV transcription start site. We established that the 2.6 kb mRNA V-1 and the 2.3 kb GGT mRNA V-2 derive, by alternate splicing, from a primary transcript initiated on a distal promoter on the rat GGT gene. This gene appears to be transcribed from five promoters, and the specific expression of this new distal promoter in undifferentiated hepatoma cells requires binding of activator protein-1 and hepatic nuclear factor 3 specific transcription factors to a composite cis-element in the proximal region of the promoter. The distal GGT promoter, specifically expressed in undifferentiated liver cells, might reflect the expression of that gene in liver precursor cells before they differentiate in the hepatocytic or biliary lineage.
