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

Infection by oncogenic viruses is a frequent cause for tumor formation as observed in cervical cancer. Viral oncoproteins cause inactivation of p53 function and false transcriptional regulation of central cell cycle genes. Here we analyze the regulation of Plk4, serving as an example of many cell cycle- and p53-regulated genes. Cell cycle genes are often repressed via CDE and CHR elements in their promoters and activated by NF-Y binding to CCAAT-boxes. In contrast, general activation of Plk4 depends on NRF1 and CRE sites. Bioinformatic analyses imply that NRF1 and CRE are central elements of the transcriptional network controlling cell cycle genes. We identify CDE and CHR sites in the Plk4 promoter, which are necessary for binding of the DREAM (DP, RB-like, E2F4 and MuvB) complex and for mediating repression in G0/G1. When cells progress to G2 and mitosis, DREAM is replaced by the MMB (Myb-MuvB) complex that only requires the CHR element for binding. Plk4 expression is downregulated by the p53-p21(WAF1/CIP1)-DREAM signaling pathway through the CDE and CHR sites. Cell cycle- and p53-dependent repression is abrogated by HPV E7 oncoprotein. Together with genome-wide analyses our results imply that many cell cycle genes upregulated in tumors by viral infection are bound by DREAM through CDE/CHR sites.
