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

Initially recognized as a HeLa factor essential for parvovirus DNA replication, parvovirus initiation factor (PIF) is a site-specific DNA-binding complex consisting of p96 and p79 subunits. We have cloned and sequenced the human cDNAs encoding each subunit and characterized their products expressed from recombinant baculoviruses. The p96 and p79 polypeptides have 40% amino acid identity, focused particularly within a 94-residue region containing the sequence KDWK. This motif, first described for the Drosophila homeobox activator DEAF-1, identifies an emerging group of metazoan transcriptional modulators. During viral replication, PIF critically regulates the viral nickase, but in the host cell it probably modulates transcription, since each subunit is active in promoter activation assays and the complex binds to previously described regulatory elements in the tyrosine aminotransferase and transferrin receptor promoters. Within its recognition site, PIF binds coordinately to two copies of the tetranucleotide PuCGPy, which, remarkably, can be spaced from 1 to 15 nucleotides apart, a novel flexibility that we suggest may be characteristic of the KDWK family. Such tetranucleotides are common in promoter regions, particularly in activating transcription factor/cyclic AMP response element-binding protein (ATF/CREB) and E-box motifs, suggesting that PIF may modulate the transcription of many genes.
