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 opposing transcriptional activities of the basic-helix-loop-helix-leucine zipper proteins Myc and Mad, taken together with information related to their expression patterns and biological effects, have led to a model of the Myc/Max/Mad network in which Myc and Mad proteins function as antagonists. This antagonism is presumed to operate at the level of genes targeted by these complexes, where Myc:Max activates and Mad:Max represses expression of the same set of genes. However, a detailed analysis of the DNA-binding preferences for Mad proteins has not been performed. Furthermore, the model does not address the findings that Myc:Max indirectly represses transcription of several regulatory genes. To examine these issues relating to DNA-binding specificity and biological responses, we have determined the DNA-binding preferences of Mad1 by using selection and amplification of randomized oligonucleotides and demonstrated that its intrinsic specificity is identical with that of c-Myc. We have also used a chimeric Myc protein, containing a substitution of the entire Mad basic-helix-loop-helix-leucine zipper motif, and shown that it can reproduce the growth-promoting activities of Myc, but not its apoptotic function. Our results suggest that Myc and Mad, although possessing identical in vitro DNA-binding specificities, do not have an identical set of target genes in vivo, and that apoptosis is one biological outcome in which the transcriptional effects of Myc are not directly antagonized by those of Mad.
