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

We studied the response of simple synthetic promoter regions to transactivation by the adenovirus early region 1A (E1A) protein. Binding sites for one or two host cell transcription factors were substituted for the E1B promoter region in reconstructed virus mutants, and the response to E1A transactivation was assayed during the early phase of infection. We found that a single CREB/ATF binding site resulted in a surprisingly strong promoter which responded to E1A. A CREB/ATF binding site placed upstream of the E1B TATA box behaved much like the wild-type E1B promoter, which is composed of a single Sp1 binding site plus a TATA box. A single E2F binding site resulted in an extremely weak promoter which did not respond to E1A, much like a single Sp1 site. Two E2F sites in an inverted orientation with the same spacing as in the adenovirus type 2 E2 early promoter produced a strong, E1A-responsive promoter. Substitution of the E4 TATA box region for the E1B TATA box region produced a promoter about five times stronger than the wild-type E1B promoter in the absence of E1A. However, the E4 TATA box substitution did not respond significantly to E1A transactivation. These results directly demonstrate that many different transcription factor binding sites, including the E1B TATA box, a CREB/ATF binding site, and two E2F sites, can mediate E1A transactivation. Other transcription factor binding sites cannot mediate an E1A response; these other sites include the E4 TATA box, a single Sp1 binding site, and a single E2F binding site. Implications of these findings for the mechanism of E1A transactivation are discussed.
