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

Recent studies aimed at elucidating the mechanism controlling HIV-1 transcription have led to the identification and characterization of two multi-subunit complexes that both contain P-TEFb, a human transcription elongation factor and co-factor for activation of HIV-1 gene expression by the viral Tat protein. The first complex, termed the 7SK snRNP, acts as a reservoir where active P-TEFb can be withdrawn by Tat to stimulate HIV-1 transcription. The second complex, termed the super elongation complex (SEC), represents the form of P-TEFb delivered by Tat to the paused RNA polymerase II at the viral long terminal repeat during Tat transactivation. Besides P-TEFb, SEC also contains other elongation factors/co-activators, and they cooperatively stimulate HIV-1 transcription. Recent data also indicate SEC as a target for the mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) protein to promote the expression of MLL target genes and leukemogenesis. Given their roles in HIV-1/AIDS and cancer, further characterization of 7SK snRNP and SEC will help develop strategies to suppress aberrant transcriptional elongation caused by uncontrolled P-TEFb activation. As both complexes are also important for normal cellular gene expression, studying their structures and functions will elucidate the mechanisms that control metazoan transcriptional elongation in general.
