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

Glucocorticoids rapidly induce transcription from the mouse mammary tumour virus (MMTV) promoter via a glucocorticoid receptor (GR)-mediated chromatin disruption event. This remodelling of chromatin is transient such that upon prolonged exposure to hormone the promoter becomes refractory to glucocorticoids. We demonstrate that this refractory state requires the continual presence of hormone and can be reversed by its removal. Our experiments show that the promoter is inactivated via a mechanism whereby histone H1 is dephosphorylated in response to glucocorticoids. Removal of glucocorticoids results in the rephosphorylation of histone H1 and the reacquisition of transcriptional competence by the promoter. This response is specific for the MMTV promoter assembled as chromatin and is not observed for another inducible gene or transiently transfected MMTV DNA. Finally, we demonstrate that H1 on the MMTV promoter is dephosphorylated when the promoter is unresponsive to glucocorticoids. These studies indicate that phosphorylated H1 is intimately linked with the GR-mediated disruption of MMTV chromatin in vivo.
