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

The proto-oncogene c-myb encodes a nuclear transcription factor that binds to DNA in a sequence-specific manner and activates transcription of several viral and cellular genes. Expression of the c-myb gene is induced in mitogen- and/or antigen-stimulated T lymphocytes, which are also the preferential target cells of human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) in vivo and in vitro. We report here that Myb binds to the HTLV-I long terminal repeat (LTR) in four different regions in a sequence-specific manner. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay using labeled LTR fragments as well as labeled double-stranded oligonucleotides show that there are two high-affinity and two low-affinity Myb-binding sites present in the HTLV-I LTR. DNase I footprinting analysis and oligonucleotide competition experiments indicate that this binding is sequence specific. Cotransfection experiments in HeLa cells, using a Myb expression vector and chloramphenicol acetyltransferase reporter gene linked to the HTLV-I LTR, show that Myb activates HTLV-I LTR-mediated transcription by a factor of four-to sixfold. Thus, in HTLV-I-infected T cells, Myb protein binding to the HTLV-I LTR may constitute one of the signal that regulate HTLV-I transcription in vivo.
