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

As a transcription factor, NR2F1 regulates spatiotemporal gene expression in the nucleus particularly during development. Aberrant NR2F1 causes the rare neurodevelopmental disorder Bosch-Boonstra-Schaaf Optic Atrophy Syndrome. In addition, altered NR2F1 expression is frequently observed in various cancers and is considered a prognostic marker or potential therapeutic target. NR2F1 has been found in both the nucleus and nucleoli, suggesting a non-canonical and direct role in the latter compartment. Hence, we studied this phenomenon employing various in vitro and in vivo models using different antibody-dependent approaches. Examination of seven commonly used anti-NR2F1 antibodies in different human cancer and stem cells as well as in wild type and null mice revealed that NR2F1 nucleolar localization is artificial and has no functional role. Our subsequent comparative analysis demonstrated which anti-NR2F1 antibody best fits which approach. The data allow for correct data interpretation and underline the need to optimize any antibody-mediated technique.
