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

Binding of high risk human papillomavirus (HPV) E6 protein to E6-associated protein (E6AP), a cellular ubiquitin-protein ligase, enables E6AP to ubiquitinate p53, leading to p53 degradation in cervical cancer cells such as HeLa cells. Here we report that Pitx2a, a bicoid-type homeodomain transcription factor, can bind to HPV E6 protein and inhibit E6/E6AP-mediated p53 degradation. Deletion of the Pitx2a homeodomain abrogates its ability to bind to HPV E6 protein and to induce p53 accumulation in HeLa cells, suggesting that the homeodomain of Pitx2a is essential for inhibition of E6/E6AP-mediated p53 degradation. Recombinant Pitx2a can also block E6/E6AP-mediated p53 degradation in vitro, indicating that this function of Pitx2a is independent of its transcription activity. Pitx2a does not regulate Hdm2-mediated p53 degradation, because Pitx2a does not affect p53 protein levels in HPV-negative cells, such as HCT116, U2OS, and C33A cells. In addition, Pitx2a-induced p53 is transcriptionally active and maintains its specific DNA binding activity in HeLa cells. Taken together, these findings suggest that, by binding to E6, Pitx2a interferes with E6/E6AP-mediated p53 degradation, leading to the accumulation of functional p53 protein in HeLa cells.
