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 human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is the causative agent of adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma. The multifunctional virally encoded oncoprotein Tax is responsible for malignant transformation and potent activation of HTLV-1 transcription. Tax, in complex with phosphorylated cAMP response element binding protein (pCREB), strongly recruits the cellular coactivators CREB binding protein (CBP)/p300 to the viral promoter concomitant with transcriptional activation. Although the mechanism of activator/coactivator-mediated transcriptional activation is poorly understood, the recruitment of CBP/p300 by regulatory factors appears to function, in part, by promoting changes in chromatin architecture that are permissive to transcriptional activation. Here, we show that CBP/p300 recruitment promotes histone acetylation and eviction of the histone octamer from the chromatin-assembled HTLV-1 promoter template in vitro. Nucleosome disassembly is strictly acetyl-CoA dependent and is not linked to ATP utilization. We find that the histone chaperone, nucleosome assembly protein 1 (NAP1), cooperates with CBP/p300 in eviction of the acetylated histones from the chromatin template. These findings reveal a unique mechanism in which the DNA-bound Tax/pCREB complex recruits CBP/p300, and together with NAP1, the coactivators cooperate to dramatically reduce nucleosome occupancy at the viral promoter in an acetylation-dependent and transcription-independent fashion.
