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

Transcriptional coactivator p300 is required for embryonic development and cell proliferation. Valproic acid, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, is widely used in the therapy of epilepsy and bipolar disorder. However, it has intrinsic teratogenic activity through unidentified mechanisms. We report that valproic acid stimulates proteasome-dependent p300 degradation through augmentation of gene expression of the B56gamma regulatory subunits of protein phosphatase 2A. The B56gamma3 regulatory and catalytic subunits of protein phosphatase 2A interact with p300. Overexpression of the B56gamma3 subunit leads to proteasome-mediated p300 degradation and represses p300-dependent transcriptional activation, which requires the B56gamma3 interaction domain of p300. Conversely, silencing of the B56gamma subunit expression by RNA interference increases the stability and transcriptional activity of the coactivator. Our study establishes the functional interaction between protein phosphatase 2A and p300 activity and provides direct evidence for signal-dependent control of p300 function.
