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 regulation of transcription of the gene for the beta subunit of the FoF1 ATP synthase (ATPsynbeta) in brown adipose tissue has been studied as a model to determine the molecular mechanisms for mitochondrial biogenesis associated with brown adipocyte differentiation. The expression of the ATPsynbeta mRNA is induced during the brown adipocyte differentiation that occurs during murine prenatal development or when brown adipocytes differentiate in culture. This induction occurs in parallel with enhanced gene expression for other nuclear and mitochondrially-encoded components of the respiratory chain/oxidative phosphorylation system (OXPHOS). Transient transfection assays indicated that the expression of the ATPsynbeta gene promoter is higher in differentiated HIB-1B brown adipocytes than in non-differentiated HIB-1B cells. A major transcriptional regulatory site was identified between nt -306 and -266 in the ATPsynbeta promoter. This element has a higher enhancer capacity in differentiated brown adipocyte HIB-1B cells than in non-differentiated cells. Electrophoretic shift analysis indicated that Sp1and nuclear respiratory factor-2/GA-binding protein (NRF2/GABP) were the main nuclear proteins present in brown adipose tissue that bind this site. Double-point mutant analysis indicated a major role for the NRF2/GABP site in the enhancer capacity of this element in brown fat cells. It is proposed that NRF2/GABP plays a pivotal role in the co-ordinated enhancement of OXPHOS gene expression associated with mitochondrial biogenesis in brown adipocyte differentiation.
