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

TATA-binding protein (TBP) is a key general transcription factor required for transcription by all three nuclear RNA polymerases. Although it has been intensively analyzed in vitro and in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in vivo studies of vertebrate TBP have been limited. We applied gene-targeting techniques using chicken DT40 cells to generate heterozygous cells with one copy of the TBP gene disrupted. Such TBP-heterozygous (TBP-Het) cells showed unexpected phenotypic abnormalities, resembling those of cells with delayed mitosis: a significantly lower growth rate, larger size, more G2/-M- than G1-phase cells, and a high proportion of sub-G1, presumably apoptotic, cells. Further evidence for delayed mitosis in TBP-Het cells was provided by the differential effects of several cell cycle-arresting drugs. To determine the cause of these defects, we first examined the status of cdc2 kinase, which regulates the G2/M transition, and unexpectedly observed more hyperphosphorylated, inactive cdc2 in TBP-Het cells. Providing an explanation for this, mRNA and protein levels of cdc25B, the trigger cdc2 phosphatase, were significantly and specifically reduced. These properties were all due to decreased TBP levels, as they could be rescued by expression of exogeneous TBP, including, in most but not all cases, a mutant form lacking the species-specific N-terminal domain. Our results indicate that small changes in TBP concentration can have profound effects on cell growth in vertebrate cells.
