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

Glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and octamer transcription factors 1 and 2 (Oct-1/2) interact synergistically to activate the transcription of mouse mammary tumor virus and many cellular genes. Synergism correlates with cooperative DNA binding of the two factors in vitro. To examine the molecular basis for these cooperative interactions, we have studied the consequences of protein-protein binding between GR and Oct-1/2. We have determined that GR binds in solution to the octamer factor POU domain. Binding is mediated through an interface in the GR DNA binding domain that includes amino acids C500 and L501. In transfected mammalian cells, a transcriptionally inert wild-type but not an L501P GR peptide potentiated transcriptional activation by Oct-2 100-fold above the level that could be attained in the cell by expressing Oct-2 alone. Transcriptional activation correlated closely with a striking increase in the occupancy of octamer motifs adjacent to glucocorticoid response elements (GREs) on transiently transfected DNAs. Intriguingly, GR-Oct-1/2 binding was interrupted by the binding of GR to a GRE. We propose a model for transcriptional cooperativity in which GR-Oct-1/2 binding promotes an increase in the local concentration of octamer factors over glucocorticoid-responsive regulatory regions. These results reveal transcriptional cooperativity through a direct protein interaction between two sequence-specific transcription factors that is mediated in a way that is expected to restrict transcriptional effects to regulatory regions with DNA binding sites for both factors.
