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 oncoprotein v-Myb of avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) transforms myelomonocytic cells by deregulating specific target genes. Previous work has shown that the oncogenic potential of v-Myb was activated by truncation of N- and C-terminal sequences of c-Myb and was further increased by amino acid substitutions in the DNA-binding domain and other parts of the protein. We have analyzed the activation of the chicken lysozyme gene which is strongly activated by c-Myb but not by its oncogenic counterpart v-Myb. We report that Myb acts on two different cis-regulatory elements, the promoter and an enhancer located upstream of the gene. Interestingly, the activation of the enhancer was abolished by the oncogenic amino acid substitutions. We demonstrated that a single Myb-binding site is responsible for the activation of the lysozyme enhancer by Myb and showed that the v-Myb protein of AMV was unable to bind to this site. Our data demonstrate for the first time that oncogenic activation of Myb alters its DNA-binding specificity at a physiological Myb target gene.
