The activity of a highly promiscuous AP-1 element can be confined to neurons by a tissue-selective repressive element.
Article in The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Tissue-specific gene transcription can be determined by the use of either positive-acting or negative-acting DNA regulatory elements. We have analyzed a promoter from the growth-associated protein 43 (GAP-43) gene and found that it uses both of these mechanisms to achieve its high degree of neuron-specific activity. Two novel transcription factor binding sites, designated Cx1 and Cx2, drive promoter activity in neurons from developing cerebral cortex but not in several other cell types. The promoter also contains an activator protein 1 (AP-1) site that contributes to activity in neurons. The AP-1 site can drive promoter activity in a wide range of non-neuronal cells that express little or no endogenous GAP-43, but only in the absence of a tissue-specific repressive element located downstream of the GAP-43 TATA box. These findings suggest that the GAP-43 repressive element plays an important role in allowing AP-1 signaling pathways to modulate activity of the GAP-43 gene in neurons, without also causing inappropriate activation by AP-1 transcription factors in other cell types.
