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

As reported previously for simian virus 40 small t antigen, polyomavirus small t antigen stimulates transcription directed by the adenovirus E2A and VA-I promoters during transient transfection assays. To determine whether papovaviral small t antigens might employ biochemical mechanisms during transcription activation that are either similar to or distinct from other viral trans activators, I compared the abilities of simian virus 40 small t antigen and adenovirus E1A to regulate the E2A promoter during transient transfection assays. I determined that, whereas activation of the E2A promoter by E1A involves the transcription factors ATF and EIIF, activation by small t antigen involves only EIIF. The effects of cotransfecting maximal concentrations of plasmids encoding small t antigen with E1A suggested that they activate the E2A promoter by different mechanisms. To determine whether small t antigen employs a mechanism different from that encoded in E1A domain II, domain III, or both, I compared the effects of transfecting plasmids expressing small t antigen, the 12S product of E1A, or the 13S product with a mutation in domain II on trans activation of the E2A promoter in two cellular backgrounds. On the basis of these comparisons, it appears that small t antigen does not activate transcription by a mechanism similar to either of the activities encoded in E1A. This suggests that papovavirus small t antigens belong to a distinct class of trans-acting proteins.
