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

We report the characterization of clone 1.9.2, a gene expressed in mineralizing osteoblasts. Remarkably, clone 1.9.2 is the murine homolog of the alpha chain of the nascent polypeptide-associated complex (alpha-NAC). Based on sequence similarities between alpha-NAC/1.9.2 and transcriptional regulatory proteins and the fact that the heterodimerization partner of alpha-NAC was identified as the transcription factor BTF3b (B. Wiedmann, H. Sakai, T. A. Davis, and M. Wiedmann, Nature 370:434-440, 1994), we investigated a putative role for alpha-NAC/ 1.9.2 in transcriptional control. The alpha-NAC/1.9.2 protein potentiated by 10-fold the activity of the chimeric activator GAL4/VP-16 in vivo. The potentiation was shown to be mediated at the level of gene transcription, because alpha-NAC/1.9.2 increased GAL4/VP-16-mediated mRNA synthesis without affecting the half-life of the GAL4/VP-16 fusion protein. Moreover, the interaction of alpha-NAC/1.9.2 with a transcriptionally defective mutant of GAL4/VP-16 was severely compromised. Specific protein-protein interactions between alpha-NAC/1.9.2 and GAL4/VP-16 were demonstrated by gel retardation, affinity chromatography, and protein blotting assays, while interactions with TATA box-binding protein (TBP) were detected by immunoprecipitation, affinity chromatography, and protein blotting assays. Based on these interactions that define the coactivator class of proteins, we conclude that the alapha-NAC/1.9.2 gene product functions as a transcriptional coactivator.
