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

Human papillomaviruses (HPV) are causative agents of human cancers including those of the cervix and also of the head and neck; HPV16 is the most commonly found type in these diseases. The viral E2 protein regulates transcription from the viral genome by interacting with DNA-binding sequences in the HPV transcriptional control region; it also regulates replication by interacting with and recruiting the HPV replication factor E1 to the viral origin. Therefore, E2 is essential for the viral life cycle. The E2 protein interacts with several proteins involved in the cellular response to DNA damage including p53, TopBP1, and PARP. We therefore set out to establish whether DNA-damaging agents can regulate E2 activity. Here we show that UVB irradiation downregulates transcriptional activity of both HPV16 and HPV8 E2, while hydroxyurea and etoposide do not. This downregulation of E2 activity is independent of p53 function as it occurs in p53 wild type and null cell types as well as in the presence of functional HPV16 E6 that degrades p53. Using stable cell lines expressing E2 we show that this downregulation of E2 function by UVB is due to a reduction of the E2 protein half-life. The identification of the pathway(s) through which UVB downregulates E2 transcriptional activity and protein levels will present a novel target for the treatment of HPV-related diseases.
