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

It has only been within the last few years that insights have been gained into the remarkable diversity of functions of the adenovirus early transcription region 4 (E4) products. The polypeptide encoded by E4 open reading frame 4 (E4orf4) has emerged as an enigmatic product. Although it accomplishes certain functions that propel viral replication, it has also been shown to be highly toxic, an effect that could dampen the infectious cycle, but that also might serve to facilitate release of viral progeny. When expressed alone, E4orf4 induces a novel form of p53-independent apoptosis in cancer cells but not in normal human cells, thus making it of potential use in cancer gene therapy. In addition, knowledge of its mechanism of action, especially with regard to its interaction with protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), could provide insights to develop new small molecule anti-cancer drugs. Thus future studies on E4orf4 should be both informative and potentially valuable therapeutically. In this study we review the current status of knowledge on E4orf4.
