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 tumor suppressor protein p53 plays a role in cellular responses to cancer-initiating events by regulating progress through the cell cycle. Several recent studies have shown that p53 transactivates expression of the members of the proapoptotic microRNA-34 family, which are underexpressed in several cancers. We demonstrate here that the latency-associated cluster of microRNAs (miRNA) encoded by an oncogenic herpesvirus, gallid herpesvirus 2 (GaHV-2), is a direct target of p53. Robust transcriptional activity was induced in three avian cell lines by a sequence mapping 600 base pairs (bp) upstream of the cluster of miRNAs. We found transcription start sites for the pri-miRNA transcript at the 3' end of this transcription-inducing sequence. The promoter has no consensus core promoter element, but is organized into a variable number of tandem repeats of 60-bp harboring p53-responsive elements (RE). The minimal functional construct consists of two tandem repeats. Mutagenesis to change the sequence of the p53 RE abolished transcriptional activity, whereas p53 induction enhanced mature miRNA expression. The identification of a viral miRNA promoter regulated by p53 is biologically significant, because all avirulent GaHV-2 strains described to date lack the corresponding regulatory sequence, whereas all virulent, very virulent, and hypervirulent strains possess at least two tandem repeats harboring the p53 RE.
