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

Transcription of hepatitis B Virus (HBV), an important risk factor of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is controlled by cellular transcription activators including some of the cellular signaling targets. Consequently, HBV transcription rate changes in response to the cellular physiological conditions. In this report we investigated HBV gene expression and the role of physiological levels of the viral X protein (pX) under cisplatin induced genotoxic stress. We show that under these conditions the RNA level of an HBV mutant which does not express pX is sharply reduced. Studies revealed that transcription repression is responsible for the observed reduction in HBV RNA level. Repression of HBV transcription was obtained only in the p53 proficient cells. Furthermore, HBV transcription rate is recovered by the cotransfected p53 dominant negative plasmid, indicating that p53 is directly responsible for HBV transcription repression. Unexpectedly, p73, the recent p53 homologue, does not repress but rather activates HBV transcription. Interestingly, pX produced either by the HBV genome or by a cotransfected plasmid, relieves the p53 mediated repression. Collectively, these results attribute a physiological role to p53-inactivation by pX, and explain how pX may support HCC development.
