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 ferredoxin (fdx) and lectin (hgl5) promoters of Entamoeba histolytica contain the DNA sequence motif TATTCTATT (URE3). Previously we showed that mutation of the URE3 motif in the hgl5 lectin promoter results in an increase in promoter reporter activity. Mutation of this motif in the fdx promoter led to a 40-to-50% decrease in fdx promoter activity as measured by reporter gene activity and abundance of mRNA. E. histolytica nuclear proteins exhibited sequence-specific binding to the URE3 motif in electrophoretic mobility shift assays. These results support the regulation of both ferredoxin and lectin promoters by a nuclear protein(s) which recognizes the URE3 motif.
