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

The human herpes simplex virus (HSV) protein VP16 induces formation of a transcriptional regulatory complex with two cellular factors-the POU homeodomain transcription factor Oct-1 and the cell proliferation factor HCF-1-to activate viral immediate-early-gene transcription. Although the cellular role of Oct-1 in transcription is relatively well understood, the cellular role of HCF-1 in cell proliferation is enigmatic. HCF-1 and the related protein HCF-2 form an HCF protein family in humans that is related to a Caenorhabditis elegans homolog called CeHCF. In this study, we show that all three proteins can promote VP16-induced-complex formation, indicating that VP16 targets a highly conserved function of HCF proteins. The resulting VP16-induced complexes, however, display different transcriptional activities. In contrast to HCF-1 and CeHCF, HCF-2 fails to support VP16 activation of transcription effectively. These results suggest that, along with HCF-1, HCF-2 could have a role, albeit probably a different role, in HSV infection. CeHCF can mimic HCF-1 for both association with viral and cellular proteins and transcriptional activation, suggesting that the function(s) of HCF-1 targeted by VP16 has been highly conserved throughout metazoan evolution.
