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

The human homeodomain protein Phox1 interacts functionally with serum response factor (SRF) to impart serum responsive transcriptional activity to SRF-binding sites in a HeLa cell cotransfection assay. However, stable ternary complexes composed of SRF, Phox1, and DNA, which presumably mediate the transcriptional effects of Phox1 in vivo, have not been observed in vitro. Here, we report the identification, purification, and molecular cloning of a human protein that promotes the formation of stable higher-order complexes of SRF and Phox1. We show that this protein, termed SPIN, interacts with SRF and Phox1 in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, SPIN binds specifically to multiple sequences in the c-fos promoter and interacts cooperatively with Phox1 to promote serum-inducible transcription of a reporter gene driven by the c-fos serum response element (SRE). SPIN is identical to the initiator-binding protein TFII-I. Consistent with this hypothesis, SPIN exhibits modest affinity for a characterized initiator sequence in vitro. We propose that this multifunctional protein coordinates the formation of an active promoter complex at the c-fos gene, including the linkage of specific signal responsive activator complexes to the general transcription machinery.
