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 temperature-sensitive cell line ts13 is mutated in CCG1, the gene encoding TAF(II)250, the largest of the TATA-binding protein-associated factors (TAFs) in TFIID. At the nonpermissive temperature, the temperature-sensitive phenotypes are (i) transcription defects, (ii) cell cycle arrest in G(1), and (iii) apoptosis. We previously demonstrated that the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) major immediate-early proteins (MIEPs) can rescue the transcription defects and inhibit apoptosis at the nonpermissive temperature. In the work presented, we show that activation of the cellular kinase Akt alone can inhibit apoptosis in ts13 cells grown at the nonpermissive temperature. More significantly, we show that the HCMV MIEPs can activate Akt, resulting in the inhibition of apoptosis. In parallel experiments, we found that simian virus 40 (SV40) large T antigen can mediate the same function. These experiments were done by transfecting the HCMV major immediate-early gene or a cDNA encoding T antigen into ts13 cells, and thus neither viral attachment to receptors, viral tegument proteins, nor any other viral protein is required for Akt activation. Akt is activated by the phosphatidylinositide 3'-OH (PI3) kinase pathway. Using a specific inhibitor of PI3 kinase, we show that the ability of the MIEPs and T antigen to activate Akt and inhibit apoptosis is eliminated, suggesting that the viral proteins utilize the PI3 kinase pathway for Akt activation. Transfection of plasmids which express the individual 86-kDa (IEP86; IE2(579aa)) and 72-kDa (IEP72; IE1(491aa)) MIEPs indicate that each MIEP could inhibit apoptosis via activation of the PI3 kinase pathway.
