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

Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) can infect a variety of cell types, so the cause of T-cell-specific oncogenesis remains to be elucidated. The trans-activator protein Tax of HTLV-I can promote cell-cycle progression in resting T cells along with induction of cyclin D2 and cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk6) gene expression. Here, we found that Tax cannot induce cell-cycle progression in resting fibroblasts and analysed the molecular basis of the cell-type specificity. Tax activated cyclin D2 and cdk6 promoters in T cells, but not in fibroblasts, depending on its ability to activate the transcription factor nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB. Expression of cyclin D2 and CDK6 activated the transcription factor E2F, which is essential for cell-cycle progression, in both T cells and fibroblasts. Short-hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated inhibition of cyclin D2 and CDK6 induction suppressed Tax-induced activation of E2F in T cells. Finally, shRNA-mediated downregulation of NF-kappaB p65 or p100 expression reduced Tax-induced activation of cyclin D2 and/or cdk6 promoters and cell-cycle progression in T cells. These results indicate that Tax-induced cell-cycle progression in T cells is mediated, at least in part, through cell-type-specific activation of the cyclin D2 and cdk6 genes through NF-kappaB and may be important for the cell-type-specific oncogenesis.
