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

Enhancers are transcription factor platforms that synergize with promoters to control gene expression. Here, we investigate enhancers that activate gene expression several hundred-fold exclusively in the lactating mouse mammary gland. Using ChIP-seq for activating histone marks and transcription factors, we identify two candidate enhancers and one super-enhancer in the Csn1s2b locus. Through experimental mouse genetics, we dissect the lactation-specific distal enhancer bound by the mammary-enriched transcription factors STAT5 and NFIB and the glucocorticoid receptor. While deletions of canonical binding motifs for NFIB and STAT5, individually or combined, have a limited biological impact, a non-canonical STAT5 site is essential for enhancer activity during lactation. In contrast, the intronic enhancer contributes to gene expression only in late pregnancy and early lactation, possibly by interacting with the distal enhancer. A downstream super-enhancer, which physically interacts with the distal enhancer, is required for the functional establishment of the Csn1s2b promoter and gene activation. Lastly, NFIB binding in the promoter region fine-tunes Csn1s2b expression. Our study provides comprehensive insight into the anatomy and biology of regulatory elements that employ the JAK/STAT signaling pathway and preferentially activate gene expression during lactation.
