Initiation of Apaf-1 translation by internal ribosome entry.
Article in Oncogene, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 104 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
The apoptotic protease activating factor (Apaf-1) plays a central role in apoptosis: interaction of this protein with procaspase-9 leads to cleavage and activation of this initiator caspase. In common with other mRNAs whose protein products have a major regulatory function, the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of Apaf-1 is long, G-C rich and has the potential to form secondary structure. We have shown that the 5' UTR of Apaf-1 contains an internal ribosome entry segment, located in a 233 nucleotide region towards the 3' end of the leader, and that the translation initiation of this mRNA occurs only by internal ribosome entry. The Apaf-1 IRES is active in almost all human cell types tested, including Human cervical carcinoma (HeLa), Human liver carcinoma (HepG2), Human breast carcinoma (MCF7), Human embryonic kidney (HK293), African Green Monkey kidney (COS7) and Human lung (MRC5). The Apaf-1 IRES initiates translation as efficiently as the HRV IRES, but is less active than the c-myc IRES. We propose that the Apaf-1 IRES ensures that a constant cellular level of Apaf-1 protein is maintained even under conditions where cap-dependent translation is compromised.
