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

CDP/Cux (CCAAT-displacement protein/cut homeobox) contains four DNA binding domains, namely, three Cut repeats (CR1, CR2, and CR3) and a Cut homeodomain. CCAAT-displacement activity involves rapid but transient interaction with DNA. More stable DNA binding activity is up-regulated at the G(1)/S transition and was previously shown to involve an N-terminally truncated isoform, CDP/Cux p110, that is generated by proteolytic processing. CDP/Cux has been previously characterized as a transcriptional repressor. However, here we show that expression of reporter plasmids containing promoter sequences from the human DNA polymerase alpha (pol alpha), CAD, and cyclin A genes is stimulated in cotransfections with N-terminally truncated CDP/Cux proteins but not with full-length CDP/Cux. Moreover, expression of the endogenous DNA pol alpha gene was stimulated following the infection of cells with a retrovirus expressing a truncated CDP/Cux protein. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays revealed that CDP/Cux was associated with the DNA pol alpha gene promoter specifically in the S phase. Using linker scanning analyses, in vitro DNA binding, and ChIP assays, we established a correlation between binding of CDP/Cux to the DNA pol alpha promoter and the stimulation of gene expression. Although we cannot exclude the possibility that stimulation of gene expression by CDP/Cux involved the repression of a repressor, our data support the notion that CDP/Cux participates in transcriptional activation. Notwithstanding its mechanism of action, these results establish CDP/Cux as an important transcriptional regulator in the S phase.
