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

Mammalian hepatitis B viruses encode a unique regulatory protein termed X, which is essential for infection and likely plays a role in the carcinogenic process associated with hepadnaviral infection. Among the numerous properties ascribed to X protein, two have been widely documented: promiscuous transcriptional transactivation and proapoptosis. However, full understanding of the mechanisms underlying these activities requires the identification of the genuine X partners among the multiple X-binding host proteins. Here we show that (i) mutations in X protein, which markedly alter affinity for the host protein UVDDBp127, inactivate both transactivation and proapoptosis; (ii) ectopic fusion of a functional UVDDB-binding domain to a deficient binding X mutant restored its activity; (iii) in contrast to the loss-of-binding mutants, a mutant with a strong gain-of-binding exerted trans-dominant negative effects on wt X activity and localized in the nucleus and (iv) increase in intracellular UVDDB concentration enhanced both wt X-mediated transactivation and apoptosis. Taken together, our data provide strong evidence for a common upstream step in X mode of action, consisting of its productive interaction with UVDDB, via a structurally and functionally autonomous module. In addition, they underscore a nuclear location step of the viral protein that depends on its ability to bind UVDDB.
