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 c-Myb oncoprotein is a DNA-binding transcription factor with a key role in early stages of hematopoiesis. To expand our knowledge of partners cooperating with c-Myb, we performed a yeast two-hybrid screening with full-length c-Myb as bait. Here, we report FLICE-associated huge protein (FLASH)/CASP8AP2 as a novel Myb-interacting protein. We show that FLASH interacts with the DNA-binding domain of c-Myb and enhances c-Myb-dependent reporter activity and expression of endogenous c-Myb target genes. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays revealed that FLASH and c-Myb both associate with the MYC promoter region as well as with the intronic enhancer of the c-Myb target gene ADA. Furthermore, siRNA knock-down of FLASH or c-Myb both result in a reduction of MYC and ADA expression. The co-activator effect is mediated through the C-terminal part of FLASH, which binds c-Myb. The FLASH-induced enhancement is comparable with the increase seen with the c-Myb co-activator p300. We find FLASH localized in discrete nuclear speckles in several cell lines, co-localized with c-Myb in active RNA polymerase II foci. These results imply a novel molecular mechanism of regulation of c-Myb activity. We propose that c-Myb cooperates with FLASH in foci associated with active RNA polymerase II, leading to enhancement of Myb-dependent gene activation.
