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

Simian virus 40 large T antigen contains an amino terminal J domain that catalyzes T antigen-mediated viral DNA replication and cellular transformation. To dissect the role of the J domain in these processes, we exploited the genetic tools available only in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to isolate 14 loss-of-function point mutations in the T antigen J domain. This screen also identified mutations that, when engineered into simian virus 40, resulted in T antigen mutants that were defective for the ability to support viral growth, to transform mammalian cells in culture, to dissociate the p130-E2F4 transcription factor complex, and to stimulate ATP hydrolysis by hsc70, a hallmark of J domain-containing molecular chaperones. These data correlate the chaperone activity of the T antigen J domain with its roles in viral infection and cellular transformation and support a model by which the viral J domain recruits the cytoplasmic hsc70 molecular chaperone in the host to rearrange multiprotein complexes implicated in replication and transformation. More generally, this study presents the use of a yeast screen to identify loss-of-function mutations in a mammalian virus and can serve as a widely applicable method to uncover domain functions of mammalian proteins for which there are yeast homologues with selectable mutant phenotypes.
