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

Trans-activation by the adenovirus E1A 289R protein requires a zinc finger defined by Cys-154, Cys-157, Cys-171, and Cys-174. Whereas individually replacing the four cysteine residues with serines resulted in a loss of transactivation, only three of the Cys----Ser mutants (C157S, C171S, and C174S) lost the ability to bind Zn(II). X-ray absorption fine structure analysis revealed that, in the wild-type protein, Zn(II) is coordinated by four cysteine residues whereas in the C154S mutant, Zn(II) is coordinated by two histidines and two cysteines. The mutant protein probably retains, as ligands, two cysteines on the right side of the zinc finger (Cys-171 and Cys-174) and recruits two of the four histidines on the left side (His-149, His-152, His-158, and His-160), despite the presence of Cys-157. This finding may shed light on the general structural requirements of zinc fingers.
