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

Despite the utility of recombinant adenoviral vectors in basic research, their therapeutic promise remains unfulfilled. Most engineered adenoviral vectors use a heterologous promoter to transcribe a foreign gene. We show that adenoviruses containing the cytomegalovirus immediate-early promoter induce the expression of the proapoptotic cellular protein TAp73 via the cyclin-dependent kinase-retinoblastoma protein-E2F pathway in murine embryonic fibroblasts. Cells transduced with these vectors also expressed high levels of the adenoviral E4-orf6/7 and E2A proteins. By contrast, adenoviruses containing the ubiquitin C promoter failed to elicit these effects. E4-orf6/7 is necessary and sufficient for increased TAp73 expression, as shown by using retrovirus-mediated E4-orf6/7 expression and adenovirus with the E4-orf6/7 gene deleted. Activation of TAp73 likely occurs via E4-orf6/7-induced dimerization of E2F and subsequent binding to the inverted E2F-responsive elements within the TAp73 promoter. In addition, adenoviral vectors containing the cytomegalovirus immediate-early promoter, but not the ubiquitin C promoter, cooperated with chemotherapeutic agents to decrease cellularity in vitro. In contrast to murine embryonic fibroblasts, adenoviruses containing the ubiquitin C promoter, but not the cytomegalovirus immediate-early promoter, induced both E4-orf6/7 and TAp73 in human foreskin fibroblasts, emphasizing the importance of cellular context for promoter-dependent effects. Because TAp73 is important for the efficacy of chemotherapy, adenoviruses that increase TAp73 expression may enhance cancer therapies by promoting apoptosis. However, such adenoviruses may impair the long-term survival of transduced cells during gene replacement therapies. Our findings reveal previously unknown effects of foreign promoters in recombinant adenoviral vectors and suggest means to improve the utility of engineered adenoviruses by better controlling their impact on viral and cellular gene expression.
