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

Adenoviral gene expression that is repressed by p53 in nontransformed cells could provide a tumor-specific gene therapy approach for a large subset of tumors. Adenoviral infection in vivo induces stabilization of p53, which can be utilized for a strategy that includes p53-dependent expression of a transcriptional repressor and a target promoter,which is highly susceptible for transcriptional repression. Therefore, we constructed different versions of CMV-promoters (CMVgal) with binding sites for GAL4-DBD and investigated 11 GAL4-DBD fusion proteins to elucidate the most effective repressor domain to silence CMVgal activity. The transcriptional repressor GAL4-KRAB-A under control of a p53-dependent promoter facilitates strong CMVgal-mediated gene expression specifically in p53 mutant cells by a double-recombinant adenoviral vector (Ad-RGCdR). GAL4-KRAB-A mediates strong transcriptional repression of Ad-RGCdR in p53 wild-type cells, which could be further enhanced by preactivation of p53-signalling following low-dose chemotherapy prior to adenoviral infection. By utilizing p53 signalling involved in chemotherapy and adenoviral infection, more than 99% of Ad-RGCdR gene expression could be repressed in p53 wild-type cells. Controlled gene expression from CMVgal promoters by transcriptional repression utilizing functional p53 signalling thus provides a very effective tool for tumor-specific adenoviral gene therapy.
